[Paraview] Automating slicing in Paraview

[Berk Geveci]

One possibility is to write a Python script that create n filters, one
for each slice. You can then use the visibility setting to move
between slices. Another one is to setup an animation that has n frames
and set the right offset value for each frame. You can then use the
animation controls to move back and forth between slices.
