[Paraview] RE animations

Thu Apr 15 11:35:11 EDT 2010

Hi John,

The main difference between the temporal shift scale and the force time 
filters is that the temporal shift scale modifies the global time request, 
but the force time as no reference to the global time at all.
I could have added a more complex transform to the temporal shift scale, 
but I found it easier to use the animation keyframe editor to setup the 
time evolution.

For your information, the typical use case I had was to make an animation 
were an object was evolving over time, and replicates of this object would 
be made at some specific times to get a "snapshot" effect : see several 
times of the same object on the same image side by side while the original 
continues to evolve. I found it impossible to do with the temporal shift 
scale.

And the force time plugin is actually so simple...

Wouldn't it have been much easier to simply tweak Temporal shift scale to 
give it a couple more options? (rather than a complete new plugin)
