[Paraview] Tcl/Tk scripting with Paraview

[Berk Geveci]

Not that easy but doable. From Tcl, you can get the list of sources:
set window [$Application GetMainWindow]
set sources [$window GetSourceList Sources]

Once you have the sources, you can traverse it using the vtkCollection API
(look at vtkCollection and vtkPVSourceCollection in doxygen). Then you can
get the filename with
[source GetFileEntry] GetValue

Make sure to use the appropriate catch{} blocks to avoid errors when calling
GetFileEntry on a source that is not a reader.
