[Paraview] Moving geometry

[Berk Geveci]

Try loading the following script from the python shell (under Tools).
Watch out for line wrap. We can tweak this script to fit your needs
better.

from paraview import servermanager
sm = servermanager
rv = sm.GetRenderView().SMProxy
pm = sm.vtkProcessModule.GetProcessModule()
ans = None
for i in sm.ProxyManager().GetProxiesInGroup("animation").values():
  if i.IsA("vtkSMAnimationSceneProxy"):
    ans = i
    break
if ans:
  def callback(caller, *args):
    global rv
    rv.UpdateAllRepresentations()
    rv.ResetCamera()

  print pm.GetObjectFromID(ans.GetIDAsInt()).AddObserver("AnimationCueTickEvent",
callback, 1.0)
