Bug#761297: paraview: Requires python-matlib (which is not a dependence) to properly render MathText expressions

[Wojciech Aniszewski]

Package: paraview
Version: 4.1.0+dfsg-3+b2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,
     please note that Paraview (ver >4) requires python-matplotlib to be installed in Debian in order for paraview
to properly render MathText symbols in text/axes description (using the $$ syntax, such as "Function $y=2x-1$").
Meanwhile, package python-matplotlib is not a dependence of paraview, nor is it even recommended. Please
add it at least to recommended.

regards
WA
