[Paraview] Textures

[Berk Geveci]

NOTE: Everything in this message applies to ParaView 0.6 and 1.0,
some might not apply to the next release.

ParaView uses Tcl extensively. All ParaView objects and all VTK objects
it creates are wrapped in Tcl. You can access these using Tcl scripts.
ParaView trace and state files are Tcl scripts. It is possible to
execute small Tcl commands using the command prompt (Window->Command
Prompt). In the next release, some VTK objects will probably no longer
be available through Tcl, specially when running in client/server mode.
If anyone is interested in knowing more, I can continue explaining.
