Lester,

Quasi-static geopolitical data and shorelines would be an easy one-time conversion to a VTK XML-formatted *.vtu file (a structured grid with either or both cell and point data of your choice). ParaView is quite happy to load multiple databases and display them in any combination. You can use the following guide to get started: http://www.vtk.org/VTK/img/file-formats.pdf

Hello Jean

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfotunately I am working with the Windows version of Paraview (3.8.0).

Essentially what I am looking to do is overlay coastlines as line data over a sphere of seismic tomography data. I guess if one has
the x,y coordinates (z would simply be the radius plus a small amount) then it should be possible to load or draw line data?

Leading on from this is the obvious point of being able to draw longitude and latitude lines, but having the coastline gives the user a point of
reference geographically.

Perhaps we could have a way of loading GIS data e.g. Shapefiles with line/vector data?

Cheers

Lester
