Yes, you can. You tell the Table to Points filter which columns to use for x, y and z. Then you tell the glyph filter to use the remaining column for scaling. Give it a try, you'll see. > I will have 1000 time steps. Does it mean that I have to load the csv files > indivisually?

If you name them as <name>0.csv, <name>1.csv, ...., ParaView will give you the option of opening the whole series. -berk On Thu, Dec 17, 2009 at 9:49 AM, Pei-Ying Hsieh <phsieh2...@yahoo.com> wrote: > Hi, Berk, > > I just realized that I still need to know the format of the csv file.
