[Paraview] Getting plate boundary data into Paraview

[Lester Anderson]

Hello

Further to an earlier post on plate boundary data, I have the data in a variety of formats including Shapefile, GMT data, and simple XY data.

Is there an easy way to get the line (or polygon) data into Paraview?

I have copied a small sample into here to show the basic format that GMT reads, each discrete line section starts with the > plus a textual description:

 -60.1954   10.7256

 -80.1589   -2.8732
 -81.9900   -4.8900

 -78.4356   18.4315
 -78.3248   18.4569
 -78.1413   18.4710
 -78.0147   18.4664
 -77.9386   18.4565

I would hope that transforming this sort of XY data into something Paraview can load should be easy, but need some advice.

Thanks

Lester
