<br>
Since you are already writing vts files, it would be very easy to load them in
ParaView 3 as a time series. All you have to do is to write a meta-file that
points to your vts files. This is an xml file with .pvd extension. It should
look like this: <br>
<br>
<?xml version="1.0"?><br>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"
compressor="vtkZLibData<br>
Compressor"><br>
<Collection> <br>
<DataSet timestep="0"
file="Foo_001.vts"/><br>
<DataSet timestep="1"
file="Foo_002.vts"/><br>
...<br>
</Collection><br>
</VTKFile><br>
<br>
The value in timestep attribute is a float and should be the time value for
that timestep. <br>
