Hi,<div><br></div><div>Looks like you are using an older version of ParaView. I have recently made a number of changes to the particle tracing. You can find a summary on page of 11 the <a href="http://www.kitware.com/media/thesource/jul2012.html">Kitware Source July issue</a>.<div>
<br></div><div>Please try the lastest development version and let me know if you have any problems.<div><br></div><div>Leo</div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Oct 17, 2012 at 10:06 AM, Magician <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:f_magician@mac.com" target="_blank">f_magician@mac.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

<br>
<br>
On Particle Pathlines filter, I can find these params:<br>
- Mask Points<br>
- Max Track Length<br>
- Max Step Distance<br>
- Id channel Array<br>
I couldn't find termination time parameter.<br>
<br>
I don't know the right way to generate particle paths.<br>
Which filters could be used?<br>
Is Particle Pathlines filter OK?<br>
