[Paraview] Instanciating an unknown type

[Berk Geveci]

Where is the code? In RequestData()?

GetFieldData() != GetPointData() + GetCellData()

FieldData is a set of arrays associated with the whole data object and not
necessarily with points or cells. This may be some meta-data like integral
of pressure for example. Or anything else your heart desires :-)
