[Paraview] Rotational Extrusion

[Amy Squillacote]

Hi Bruno,

There is not a way to specify which axis the rotational extrusion filter 
should use. However, you could first apply a transform filter, and 
change your dataset's orientation such that the original X axis becomes 
the new Z axis. Then applying the rotational extrusion filter should do 
what you're looking for.
