Since there is apparently no easy way of doing this directly within the
current paraview framework (otherwise I would have been flooded with
answers), could someone advise me where to start if I wanted to implement
this functionality myself.

The vtkCamera class (C++) has all the useful functions: eg, ( Get | Set) (
ViewPlaneNormal | Roll | Yaw ) etc.

And they are actually exported to the tcl wrapper, but I cannot understand
how/where they are actually bound into paraview.

Where, and in which form, should I start trying to monkey with widget?
