[Paraview] Custom Glyph

[Bob Flandard]

Thanks David,

I did try that first and was unable to select the "Glyph Type" and gave up.
Luckily your post encouraged me to RTM where it states that vtkPolyData
should be used for the glyph. A quick extract surface filter fixed that, so
thanks very much for your help.
