[Paraview] Probe location in a script

[Cory Quammen]

Hi McFly,

The Python Tracing facility in ParaView is perfect for this kind of task.
It records a trace of your actions in the ParaView GUI to a Python script
that you can modify a bit to process a bunch of files. To turn on tracing,
choose the Tools -> Start Trace menu item.

More info on tracing is available in the ParaView User Guide [1] under
section 1.6.2.

Best regards,
Cory
