[Paraview] transparent background

[Robert Maynard]

Set the background to the image you wanted to overlay on, and than create
the screenshot
in ParaView. I don't think we support transparent backgrounds, but you
could use a green screen style technique where you
set the background to a solid very unique color than use Gimp or your
favorite image editor to set that color as transparent.
