RES: [Paraview] Saving IntegrateAttributes data

[John Biddiscombe]

What were the problems you had with ensight files? I had trouble because 
the particles were stored using 1 offset, but the ensight reader creates 
them using zero offset - this causes bad coordinates and dodgy output. I 
have a fix for this that I still haven't checked in. If this is your 
problem, please say and I'll check it in.
