[Paraview] arguments

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Jérôme,

I don't know if this will be helpful to you, but I wrote a plugin (a long time ago, using an older API) that added a toolbar button which popped up a dialog and then ran a python script. The solution I used was to do a search-and-replace on the python script string to put values returned from the dialog directly into the python script before running it.
