[Paraview] Save animation using python script

Hi Michael,
Attached is a python script that generates an animation in which a
sphere source's StartTheta is varied and then saves the animation out.
In case you want to animate the time on the reader, you'll have to
change the animation cue to animate the view's "ViewTime" property as
under:
# Create a cue to animate sphere start theta.
cue = paraview.CreateProxy("animation", "AnimationCue");
cue.SetAnimatedProxy(view);
cue.SetAnimatedPropertyName("ViewTime");
# Manipulator controls how the value is animated.
manip = paraview.CreateProxy("animation_manipulators",
"LinearAnimationCueManipulator");
manip.SetStartValue(0); # start time for the reader
manip.SetEndValue(10); # end time for the reader
manip.UpdateVTKObjects();
cue.AddToManipulator(manip);
cue.UpdateVTKObjects();
