[Paraview] Custom Glyph

[Cory Quammen]

This might be obvious, but I'll chime in anyway. You could glyph the
data twice, one with the part of the glyph that should be white and
one with the part of the glyph that should be black. Then, just color
the two glyphed geometries white and black as needed.
