[Paraview] Paraview for time series of images

[Agustin Lobo]

The procedure suggested by Samuel and Kenneth works: it seems I have
some problem
with the particular set of tif files I was using for testing, but I¡ve
found that it works in other cases.
I'll try to find out what makes these tif images different.
Thanks

Agus
