[Paraview] Displaying points and normals

[Sven Buijssen]

Hi Christoph,

Load the CSV data, use a TableToPoints filter, then a Calculator filter to
combine the last three fields to a vector (operation: "(iHat*Field
3)+(jHat*Field 4)+(kHat*Field 5)") and finally apply a Glyph filter with Glyph
type Arrow.
