[Paraview] Re: Reader with Multiple Outputs

[Stephane PLOIX]

Hi,

I would like to add another use for multiple outputs : 
3. a reader wich can read files with a variable number of geometries.
There are then multiple outputs, but they are not subsets of a whole, 
and should be shown as seperate objects.

Will ParaView support this kind of reader?

Thanks,
Stephane
