[Paraview] VTK Particles format for Paraview

[David E DeMarle]

I don't think there is a vtk writer class for that format. Looking at
the code for vtkParticlesReader makes me think you can just fopen,
fwrite and fclose from a c program for example to create a binary
.particles file.

For ascii I'ld recommend using the standard csv reader instead of this one.
