[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] displaying simulation time rather than time step

[Scott, W Alan]

Phil,
I have no idea how to put out what you are asking for, but it is a really good idea.  If you don't get an answer, be sure to write up a bug report/ feature request.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] displaying simulation time rather than time step

I would like to do something similar to the Annotate Time filter, but rather than displaying the time step number, I need to display simulation date and time.

I have a text file with the actual simulation date and time associated with each time step.  Here are the first few lines of that file

Time step   Time step output, Actual time
0               0.00,           4/1/2013 15:00
1               65.83,          4/1/2013 15:01
2               125.88,         4/1/2013 15:02
3               201.00,         4/1/2013 15:03
4               268.65,         4/1/2013 15:04
5               328.83,         4/1/2013 15:05
6               366.46,         4/1/2013 15:06

...

So, rather than Time: 0 at the bottom of the 3D window, I'd like to have 4/1/2013 15:00

Any thoughts / recommendations on how to accomplish this task will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Phil
