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

[Florian Rathgeber]

Hi,

Thank you, that works, but gives me lots of data I don't actually need.
I would rather have something more concise.

Is anybody more familiar with the particle tracer and can tell what this
particle writing is supposed to do and how to get it to work?
