[Paraview] zoom control

[burlen]

  3.2.3 is ancient. It will be well worth your while to upgrade.

The latest PV release has the ability to save/restore views, and assign 
custom views to a set buttons for quick access. This is found in the 
"adjust camera" dialog which is opened by the small button on top of the 
the 3D view.
