[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] ExodusII and mode shape animation

[Paw Møller]

I'm new to the Python Programmable Filter, so would you mind pointing me to
a tutorial or maybe sending an example file?

Is it possible to write the magnifying factor(applying displ.) and tick the
"Has Mode Shape" directly to the exodusII file from my fortran program?
And can I find any documentation on what paraview can read from an
exodus-file, in terms of applying  'options'?
