[Paraview] Probing a solution position over time

[Berk Geveci]

I don't think probing with a line over time works. This is the case
because the built-in plot is 1D and cannot do carpet plots. If you
animate that, it will generate the plot for the current time only. I
think you can only probe with a point over time.
