[Paraview] Particle tracer: output particle coordinates for every time step to file?

[Andy Bauer]

Hi,

I'm not sure how the enable particle writing works in that filter.  I would
just use either the VTK legacy writer or VTK Polydata file writer and check
"Write all timesteps as file-series.".  You'll get a series of files from
that.
