<p class="MsoPlainText">I've been following your email thread with Ashton with quite some interest, as I'm considering using ParaView in a similar way.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">In my case, I'm looking into 3D visualisation of groundwater modelling results (from MikeShe). The subsurface (below a DEM) is represented on an unstructured grid:<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">MikeShe has its own proprietary file format which I have access to via a Python SDK; my goal is to develop a “programmable source” that would read those files directly into ParaView for visualisation.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoPlainText">Then adding shape files (base mapping) on top of this would actually be really cool.<o:p></o:p></p>
