[Paraview] Text over iterations

[Alexander Grayver]

Utkarsh,

Thanks for response.
I'm afraid "You will need to write a new vtkTableToTextConvertor as a 
plugin"  sounds a bit desperate to me since I'm not well familiar with 
ParaView source code and plug-in system.
However I find this task pretty general and surprised there is no such 
functionality.

Can you or somebody else in the list guide me a bit concerning plugins?
