[Paraview] Multi-Block Plot3D Data

[Berk Geveci]

The multi-block support is getting better with every release. The
current multi-block support includes:

* Loading of multi-block in parallel
* Extracting blocks with Extract Datasets and Extract Group filters
(Group == Block)
* Grouping of multiple datasets to multi-block with Group Datasets
* Coloring by group (apply level scalars and then color by GroupIdScalars)
* Most of the filters can be applied to multi-block datasets.

There are some limitations:
* Multi-block datasets cannot be volume rendered (they have to be
converted to "simple" dataset using Convert to Simple Dataset)
* Multi-block datasets cannon be analyzed through picking

We will be working on improving this support in ParaView 3.
