[Paraview-developers] [EXTERNAL] Re: Time-varying data reader

[Joe Ping-Lin Hsiao]

It's working!
I just followed the VTK reader code in readers.xml at
ParaView3.14.1\ParaViewCore\ServerImplementation\Resources.

Ken,
  I first tried the xml code from the wiki, but I couldn't even read a
file. I guess the xml scheme had changed in ParaView 3.14, and what's
on the wiki is for older versions of ParaView.

Thanks,
Joe
