[Paraview] RAW to STL Script Help?

Dear All,

I have a large number of RAW files (unsigned characters in 3
dimensions of varying size) and I need to extract isosurfaces and save
them as STLs. I've been using paraview to do this (and it's awesome!),
but doing it by hand is becoming impractical. Unfortunately, I've been
having trouble figuring out how to script it.

In particular, I can't figure out how to load RAW files or how save
STLs. In fact, the best documentation on the python API I can find is
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting ... Could
someone direct me towards something a bit more comprehensive?

Thanks in advance,

Christopher Olah

PS. I hope this isn't too trivial to write to you about -- I couldn't
really find anything on what level of question was appropriate for
this list.
