[Paraview] plugin for stereo animation rendering

[Evan Bollig]

Any advice on how to proceed? Im not familiar with the source behind
the paraview interface, but is any of it based on Python/Tcl plugins?
What Id really like to do is add this as an option in the Animation
Settings Dialog (a little checkbox to say "Output Left/Right frames").
Can someone tell me where to find that source? I know it must be
possible to force the window to  render left and right views as
separate screenshots. That is really all that I need since I have
scripts to stitch image sequences into full movies.
