[Paraview] Need Python Chart help

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Josh,

I believe you're missing a rep.UpdatePropertyInformation()  (and maybe
even rep.Update()) before accessing that property. FYI, this component
has already changed in git/master. You nolonger need to use
SeriesNamesInfo property to get the series list, the domain for the
SeriesVisibility property will have the appropriate list.
