[Paraview] Moving slice with particle

[Berk Geveci]

It is definitely doable with the programmable filter although not as trivial
as it would be with a tool like VisTrails. The programmable filter can
accept multiple inputs. You could use the point from on of its inputs to
setup the parameter of an internal slice filter - which requires importing
the vtk.graphics module. If you can't figure it out, let me know, I'll help.
