[Paraview] Visualize density (a galaxy of stars)

[Anders Logg]

Sure!

http://www.math.chalmers.se/~logg/tmp/torus.vtu.gz

Ideally I would like to visualize this as a glowing torus-shaped galaxy in
empty space.

PS: A friend tipped me to visualize the data as a point cloud instead so
I'm currently experimenting with sampling the density data to form a point
cloud (outside of ParaView). This might be a better alternative than
visualizing the density directly.
