[Paraview] transient data

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Oliver,

Since you are already writing vts files, it would be very easy to load them
in ParaView 3 as a time series. All you have to do is to write a meta-file
that points to your vts files. This is an xml file with .pvd extension. It
should look like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<VTKFile type="Collection" version="0.1" byte_order="LittleEndian"
compressor="vtkZLibData
Compressor">
  <Collection>
    <DataSet timestep="0" file="Foo_001.vts"/>
    <DataSet timestep="1" file="Foo_002.vts"/>
...
  </Collection>
</VTKFile>

The value in timestep attribute is a float and should be the time value for
that timestep.
