[Paraview] Collecting slices in a contour plot

[Berk Geveci]

Wouldn't it be easier to treat z as t. So instead of multiple vtk
files, you could create one vtk file where the third axis represents
time. You could then use slice or extract subset filters to get the
plane that you want. You can do something similar for a file series
but you would have to write a custom filter in C++ (Python would not
do).
