[Paraview] Best way to handle KML data in ParaView

[David E DeMarle]

With a single balloon I expect that you can convert it to a comma separated
values text file and then load that in. You will have to do the lat/lon ->
x/y conversion as well perhaps in the python calculator.

Is there a representative file you can share with the list?
