[Paraview] Animating legacy VTK file series

[Sven Buijssen]

Hi Song,

Don't name your files simply 00X.vtk. Add a prefix, e.g. foo00X.vtk.
Then the globbing works and your files will show up in the file dialog
as foo..vtk.

> Hi everyone,

> In a word, my problem is that each individual file could be visualized

> Thanks in advance!!
> P.S. I am using Mac os 10.4.11, Paraview 3.6.1
