[Paraview] Trace?

[Timothy Cale]

David:

Thanks for the feedback.

I am new to mailing lists: I cc'd paraview at paraview.org on this note - I
hope that covers your
request to keep the discussion on the mailing list.

WRT Trace:

Thank you for the links: I will need to spend time learning how to read the
material . . .

For now, I notice that the .py script (first_stab.py - which is attached)
does not seem to direct
the saving of a .ply file - which was one of the sequence of actions taken
during the Trace.

Is saving/writing a file part of what Trace is to record? (I used Save
Data.)

Thanks,
Tim
