[Paraview] Scripting Paraview.

[Berk Geveci]

This requires writing a state and then editing it. The state is a Tcl script
so it should be relatively easy to put a loop around it. Just  a warning,
creating 600 pipeline objects in a loop might not work well
performance-wise. I would recommend deleting the pipeline objects at the end
of each iteration.
Also, working with trace as opposed to state might be easier. Trace does not
save out as much info as state.
