[Paraview] using netcdf in paraview

[John Biddiscombe]

Martha (+put back on paraview list for reference and google)

My Bad. One of the changes I made to the netCDF code was to handle 
series of files (one file per process, or one per timestep) using 
another class in vtkCSCSCommon
Best thing is check out all of it from here...
https://svn.cscs.ch/vtkContrib/trunk/vtkCSCS/
and use the cmakelists in the root pv3-plugins folder.
you need CSCSCommomn and netCDF enabled.

Fix the netCDF reader and send me the patches please :)

> 32):
> 		
> 		Please build ParaView using the CMake advanced option
> 		PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES set to CSCSNetCDF rerun
> configure and set
> 		PARAVIEW_USE_CSCSNetCDF to ON, then rerun configure and
> enter the name of
> 		the directory where the source has been extracted.
> 		Build paraview and the netCDF reader should be embedded.
> 		Building as a vtk module is supported, documentation
> will be provided as
> 		soon as possible. (Some changes have recently been made
> which may break the
> 		existing build, these will be fixed shortly).
> 		
> 		But when we make Paraview, it's not finding a bunch of
> files
> 		(vtkMultiGroupDataInformation.h, vtkMultiGroupDataSet.h,
> 		vtkMultiGroupSetAlgorithm.h).
> 		
> 		Any advice on how to make this work? Or maybe a better
> way to read in netcdf
> 		files?
