Firstly thank you for the RealFlowImporter, it's been very helpful for
my current project.

When you import RealFlow Particles or Meshes into Rhino it also
imports the Speed/Velocity data. I would like to be able to access
that data and use it to drive the production of panelling within
Grasshopper; i.e. the faster the particle the smaller the panel, the
slower the particle the larger the panel etc.

Draft RealFlow animation (I'm not sure whether the below web link will
work)

I can think of two possible options

1) The time consuming one. The ability to access the X,Y,Z & Speed
data of every particle; then write a script to sort the particles and
manually input the data into Grasshopper.

2) Have Grasshopper 'read' the colours off the mesh and then calibrate
a shade to a speed.

Any ideas, opinions, new directions would be greatly appreciated.

If I have not been clear enough please let me know, thanks in advance
for your help.
