[Paraview] ParaView 5.0.0-RC1 is missing PointSprite Rendering Plugin

[Ken Martin]

The OpenGL2 backend includes the vtkPointGaussianMapper which can render
colored points, guassian splats, and more complex options when you specify
your own shader code. Take a look at the code in
VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/Testing/Cxx/TestPoint* to see some of what you can
do. Most of these feature are also available in PV through the use of the
PointGaussian plugin. Load that plugin before loading your points and then
it should show up as an option for the representation.

Thanks
Ken
