0006625: Animations of camera to follow a cell or point
It would be extremely useful to have an option where the animation could stay focused on a cell or point. For instance, if you want to see a car bumper impact a guard rail, or any other non-linear event, you have to make many, many keyframes. This would become trivial if a user could just keep a cell or point centered on the screen.

can.exo is a good test case for this problem. Keep the plate in the center of the screen.

This would be nice to have for ParaView 3.4, but really should be implemented for ParaView 3.6.
This needs to be done for ParaView 3.6. It will only work for an Eulerian mesh.
No tags attached.
