[Paraview] Re: Re: 1D Curve help!!!

[Dominik Szczerba]

Hi,
if you have a concrete file on disk then you can write a simple 
conversion tool counting the lines etc. inferring the required header 
info - and dumping an ascii legacy file. I dont see your problem. the 
easiest would be matlab script (study load command) in C/C++ study 
iostream's.
Dominik

as long as you have a file with coordinates
