[Paraview] Using data in Calculator from multiple sources

[David E DeMarle]

The calculator will not accept multiple inputs, so if you want to use
it you will have to append the data first, which makes it hard to
compare side by side.

You should consider using the python programmable filter instead. It
will accept multiple inputs (there was a post earlier this week on the
mailing list descriing how to access each one) and there are examples
on the wiki of scripts which iterate through the geometry of its
input.
