[Paraview] How to show the contour on a spherical surface

[Amy Squillacote]

The sphere widget shown when you change the cut function to Sphere is 
just a polygonal representation; an implicit function defining a sphere 
is then used in the cut filter. The smoothness of the output of the cut 
filter is caused by the granularity of the cells in the input dataset, 
not the sphere implicit function.
