Experiment with other vis packages

[rjleveque]

Several people have been experimenting with plotting Clawpack output using other packages, so we started a dev directory containing subdirectories for each package. Currently these are only on the dev_other_vis_packages branch, see https://github.com/clawpack/visclaw/tree/dev_other_vis_packages/dev.

If you want to contribute to what is here, please create your own branch dev_other_vis_packages on your fork, push changes to your fork, and do a pull request from there to the clawpack/visclaw/tree/dev_other_vis_packages branch.

Specifically, there are useful bits of code in the linked branch for using yt and paraview. Looks like not much has been done regarding mayavi and visit.

I have a more up-to-date yt example (works with version 3.5.0 of yt) here:

It's at the very bottom of the notebook.
