[Paraview] python support to open ComparativeView ?

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

I've added CreateComparativeRenderView() etc. to simple.py and it gets
traced as well.  However it's going to be a bit of work to get
comparative views working well with tracing since they use some wacky
proxies.

I've added a feature request for that:
http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10450

However here's a sample python script:

-------------------------------
view = CreateComparativeRenderView()
sp = Sphere()
Show()
view.GetRootView().ResetCamera()
view.StillRender()

parameter_cue = servermanager.animation.ComparativeAnimationCue()
parameter_cue.AnimatedProxy = sp
parameter_cue.AnimatedElement=0
parameter_cue.AnimatedPropertyName = "Radius"

# Look at vtkSMComparativeAnimationCueProxy for available methods.
parameter_cue.UpdateWholeRange(0.1, 0.5)

view.Cues = [parameter_cue]
view.StillRender()
-------------------------------
