Never mind. If someone else needs to do similar things, have a
closer look at the vtkParticleReader class:<br>

Just wrote a Matlab script that transforms all my data into a
particle time series, which can be opened in ParaView, even with
additional scalars assigned. Afterwards, I applied the filter
TemporalParticlesToPathlines and the animation looks pretty cool.

type="cite">Hi,
<br>
<br>
I have an animation in ParaView with 1440 timesteps. Additionally,
I have about 500 particles/points which I would like to combine
with this animation. The particles are also animated over time but
not over the entire length of the animation. The lifetime of a
typical particle is about 60 to 500 timesteps, and of course they
all start at different times. ;-) At the moment I have all data
stored as CSV time series, but doing everything using CSV is not
only alot of work, but might also be too much for ParaView.
Therefore, I am looking for a smarter way to store, load and
animate my particles. Anybody any idea how to do it? Any help is
much appreciated!
<br>
<br>
Thanks and Cheers...
<br>
Niklas
