[Paraview] [Fwd: zoom and rotate in script]

[Xueli Wang]

Hello Utkarsh:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have made some progress in using 
ParaView. I have now a script to make zoom in and zoom out of the view. 
But it is too quick.  I can't control the speed of the process. I would 
like to have a script that shows this zoom in and out slowly just like 
what we see on the television. Do you know how to do it?
By the way I got these scripts by using the "Python shell" trace to 
record what I did by mouse click and so...

Thanks a lot!
