[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: visualise particle paths

[Timothy Charles Fagan]

Thanks Ken! that is exactly what I'm looking for.

I've been playing around with it and it works very well when I apply the
filter directly to my data set. But when I try to extract a region and then
apply it, the particles are jumping around causing the pathlines to be
incoherent. I guess that it's reading the wrong particle at the next step.
I've been using the threshold and extract selection filters to get to the
region I need. Is there a better way to look at a section of particles
without this happening? The input data doesn't have a particle key/ID or
anything, which may be some of the problem.

cheers
