[Paraview] paraviewgeo

[andrealphus]

The seismic datasets are coming from my own inversion/tomography code,
and I usually just format them into a Paraview readable netcdf format.

In terms of projection capabilties, I'd be using it as soon as you
push it. But, like I mentioned, I have reasoanble workarounds
(projecting everything pre import).

A gdal plugin that could load shape files would be really useful!
