[Paraview] particle tracing

[Sven Buijssen]

Leo,

Apply a TemporalCache filter first to your data before applying the
ParticleTracer filter. The warning
  "vtkTemporalDataSet not fully supported."
will still be issued for every file of your file series, but at least
the ParticleTracer will generate particles. Without the TemporalCache in
between it will output nothing.

Sven
