[Paraview] visualise particle paths

Tue Apr 29 10:59:35 EDT 2014

Yes animating them is no problem. What I would like to see is the path that
the particles take over time, visualized as a pathline. Visualizing the
location of a particle at one point in time is not what I'm after, which is
what I see with the animation...
