[Paraview] Plot field data over time?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Eric,

If I remember correctly, this filter is designed to work with
ExodusIIReader alone. Exodus puts what it calls "Global Variables" in
the FieldData, and this filter is generating a plot for that. It
shouldn't be too hard to create a "Plot FieldData Over Time" filter
modeled on vtkExtractArraysOverTime.
