[Paraview] Import a four-dimensional array and "slice" one dimension to plot in 3D

[Cory Quammen]

Hi Fred,

Nothing built-in comes to mind to handle 4D data this way, but you
could potentially write a Programmable Source to read the file and do
the slicing. This would be similar to writing an external program to
extract a 3D hyperplane, but you could at least refine the hyperplane
definition within the Programmable Source and update the results
"live" in ParaView.

HTH,
Cory
