[Paraview] Paraview for time series of images

[Moreland, Kenneth]

This is just a guess, but the first thing I would check for is to make
sure that the image metadata such as the resolution of the images is
consistent across all the files. If the dimensions of the image changes
that could wreck havoc on VTK's extent mechanism.
