The C++/vtk code I sent you reads any 4 columns of a file like yours,
and then writes it out as a vtp file you can read with paraview.

Just pick 4 of your columns and put them into one file :

	awk < your_file.txt '{print $x, $y, $z, $v}' > new_file.csv

The paraview CSV reader should be able to read this file.
