[Paraview] Export X3D Files via Python >version 3.8

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi guys,

the solution is as follow:

from paraview.simple import *
exporters=servermanager.createModule("exporters")
source=Cone()
view = GetActiveView()
Show(view)
render=Render()
x3dExporter=exporters.X3DExporter(FileName="foo.x3d")
x3dExporter.SetView(view) # <===== NEW LINE
x3dExporter.Write()

The reason for that is SetView and Write are not Proxy properties but
local methods on the current proxy implementation. Therefore, you must
call them as is.
