[Paraview] ParaView and Python general questions

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

The ability to toggle center/orientation axes didn't make it into
3.8.1. You can either use the git-master (3.9) or wait for 3.10. In
3.9 onwards, the following should work:


RenderView1 = GetRenderView()
RenderView1.OrientationAxesVisibility = 1
RenderView1.CenterAxesVisibility = 1
