[Paraview] Integrate variable filter

[Andy Bauer]

Hi Alan,

My question is how should the forces be added up? I'm inferring that you
mean that the point/cell data array should just be added up. It seems odd
to do it like this since "small" cells don't get weighted proportionally to
"big" cells. If you wanted to do it like this though it seems like numpy in
the python programmable filter would work fairly well for this (assuming
this isn't in parallel AND with point data).

I thought that maybe for point data you could use the Glyph filter with 2d
box glyphs with a unit size and then use the integrate attributes filter. I
didn't check if this gave the correct answer or not but theoretically it
should work.

Regards,
Andy
