[Paraview] Request for reader format (x,y,x)

[Robert Maynard]

If you are using paraview 3.2 or greater you could always write a python
programmable source, that does the reading.
If the file has a header with x/y/z this should work for you:

#!/usr/bin/env python

from paraview import vtk
import csv

output = self.GetOutput()

points = vtk.vtkPoints()
cells = vtk.vtkCellArray()

file = open("/home/rmaynard/Data/blockModel/fortuna.csv")

header = csv.reader(file).next() #get the header line
csvReader = csv.DictReader(file, header) #make a dict reader with the header
counter = 0 #need to keep track of the amount of cells
for line in csvReader:
  points.InsertNextPoint(float(line['x']), float(line['y']),
float(line['z']))   #add a point change the 'x' etc to what you have in your
header
  cells.InsertNextCell(1) #each point has its own cell
  cells.InsertCellPoint(counter)
  counter += 1

output.SetPoints(points) #need to set points
output.SetVerts(cells) #need to set cells as verts
