[Paraview] Update time range and steps

[Christian Andreas]

Hello,
our group uses paraview to visualize dynamic data obtained by a 
simulation program mainly used after the simulation is finished. Our 
program generates for every time step a new file and updates a log file, 
which are processed by the reader.
To monitor the results during a simulation run we would like to use 
paraview too. For that purpose a change of TIME_STEPS() and TIME_RANGE() 
would be necessary, which is - to my knowledge - only possible within 
the RequestInformation function.

I wonder what is the best possibility to achieve an update of the 
time_steps and time_range automatically. At the moment I have a boolean 
reader-property  "refresh_time", so that after a change the apply button 
can be pressed again,  but this is far away from an elegant solution. I 
guess there is a better one. I would be grateful for a hint.

Regards
Christian
