[Paraview] problem with new representation plugin

[Paul Edwards]

I can't see how this is possible through the SharedProperties as the color
combo box that is displayed in the "Display Properties" is chosen from the
result of pqPipelineRepresentation::getRepresentationType()  (from the call
in pqDisplayProxyEditor.cxx line 695).  This will default to
vtkSMPVRepresentationProxy::SURFACE for all user defined representations
inheriting from SurfaceRepresentation type - really this should be checking
the subtype ID that is specified in the XML file, although I'm not quite
sure how this can be done....

Can you get it to work with the example plugin?

Thanks,
Paul
