Hi Utkarsh,

This is excellent! I have been putting quite some time in a work around, but
is was making things complicated, so I hope this patch helps.

If I find a bug, does it mean that I can put it to this
paraview.org/Bugside? Because I have two more bugs (at least, that's
what I suspect)
:
1) pythonCalculator does not work in parallel (with mpirun) (I gave a larger
post on this proplem two weeks ago)

2) When running with pvbatch --offscreen-rendering option, it seems that
when looping over a large set of time steps, the memory is not released when
reading time step using the same LegacyVTKReader, even when the Delete is
called on the data object. And even with a del <variable name> (I found on
one of the paraview sites that this actually should free the memory.)
Especially for a large set of time steps this becomes  a problem because my
computer runs out of memory. If I run the same script without
--offscreen-rendering option the problem does not occur, but in that way you
can not submit the script to a cluster.

Would it help if I send the bugs with an example to the Mantis side?

Again many thanks for your patch!

Regards

Eelco
