Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data
Yes, I have one file per timestep and each file is a list of points, X, Y, Z, C with one point per line. I am loading it with the 'Point3D' input. Thanks!

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data
Thanks, I see it now - I missed it because it wasn't in the "Temporal" tab. When I apply this filter, however, I get an error about a missing DATA_TIME_STEPS information key. Is this something I can specify or does it have to be in the raw data somehow?

[Paraview] particle traces from point data
Hi, I have animated particles which are imported from point data (x,y,z). I want to add a particle trace, but I am not sure what to put for the 'seed'. I am not using a vector field, but rather just a list of particle positions that updates over time. How can I just add a trace to each particle in the list?

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data
I am attaching the first input file here. Each file has an incremented number in the filename and then I load them all at once using the Point3D reader. I just go to open and select the group, I don't do anything special to load them. Paraview detects them all as part of the same group, and I can play the animation just fine with the VCR controls. Is there a different way to load them specifically as a series?

Re: [Paraview] particle traces from point data
I was able to find this thread that mentions that maybe the input data set needs to have a DATA_TIME_STEPS key, but I am not sure how to specify this with the point3d data. https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2016-February/036211.html Is there a way just to use whatever mechanism the animate functionality uses?
