[Paraview] Test Data for Particle Tracer

[John Biddiscombe]

I have a small dataset which I use for testing the particle tracer. It's 
about 1GB (60 timesteps). Now that I'm ready to commit the latest bunch 
of improvements to the particle tracer code, I'd like also to add a test 
or two for it.

1GB seems a tadge on the large side for the standard vtkData cvs 
repository. I've got another that I'll strip out all the scalar fields 
from and reduce the number of time steps (50 currently). I should be 
able to get it down it to a few hundred MB.

Question : Usually we try to keep datasets down to a few MB for vtk 
tests. What is the absolute maximum size that I can get away with for a 
dynamic mesh, multi-block, vector field dataset for testing. Of course 
we could limit it to (say) 5 timesteps, but it'd be nice to have a big 
decent dataset for testing. Many of the bugs etc don't crop up until 
particle cross boundaries etc and a good long run is nice.

Kitware guys - Guidelines?

thanks

JB
