[Paraview] csv point data through time

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

You put together a "Programmable Source" to do that. Attached is  a Plugin
with such a Programmable source/reader. Load it using "Tools | Plugins".
Then when you open the csv file, you'll be promped to choose a reader,
choose the ""CSV Reader With Time Column".
