[Paraview] reading binary 3d point data

[Christian Richter]

Hi Adam,

I don't think Paraview has a native reader für xyz binary files.
I made a reader for the famous LAMMPS binary dump-file format (header + 
rows containing x,y,z + special information like forces, mass and radius).

You can get the sourcecode here:
http://techblog.richtisoft.de/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/LIGGGHTS_PV_Plugins_src.zip
and a short discription of how to build it here:
http://techblog.richtisoft.de/?p=27 (part 2, same procedure in linux, in 
both cases you need a self-compiled Paraview for the helper programms, 
read the Plugin Section in the PV-wiki for a short introduction)

If you have a little bit c++ experince it is easy to adapt the binary 
reader source to your column order (mainly remove header, adjust 
columncount and remove unneded columns).

If you need more help please send me an example file and a little 
donation to my paypal account and I can make the adjustments for you.

best,
Christian.

The point data I wish to load is written as a series of binary doubles in the form <x1><y1><z1><x2><y2><z2>... Is there any way to load this into paraview as point data? So far everything I have tried ends with paraview crashing or giving the error it is unable to import the file.
