[Paraview] Custom Glyph

[Bob Flandard]

Hi Dave,

The multi-colored glyph mechanism using using multi-block data is already
supported (see attached), but as I mentioned in my original message,
there's an error with it if the input point data to the custom glyph has
associated results data.

Thanks, Bob
