[Paraview] periodic data in ParaView

[Berk Geveci]

I am afraid there is no direct way. What you can do however, at the
cost of more memory, is to use the tranform filter to create a copy
(or more) of your dataset that is shifted and then group the result
with the Group filter. Then you should be able to use resample as
before. The memory overhead is minimal because ParaView will only
create new instances of the coordinates arrays and re-use all other
arrays.
