[Paraview] Animation

[Berk Geveci]

The easiest thing to do is to write a series of VTK files. For
example, they would be named particles0.vtk, particles1.vtk etc. Each
file would be something like the example below. If you do this, you
can open the file series (which would show up as a group in the file
browser) and press play to animate. The full documentation for the VTK
file format is at http://vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf
