Erratum

. The ParticlePath filter does NOT work for this kind of data.

The absence of the word NOT being quite important in the context!

The vtkTemporalPathLineFilter does not need to be attached to a stream tracer 
at all. It was developed for use with any particle dataset, (I just happened to 
use it with the temporal stream tracer as well and put that in the docs as an 
example). It is a general purpose filter for joining points up as time evolves 
and also allows you to provide a selection of points to use to subset the 
trails produced. The ParticlePath filter does work for this kind of data.
It's true that the Trails filter did not support particles jumping between 
processes in parallel, but why you would remove this filter is beyond me. Can 
the support for particles across process boundaries be added to the Trails 
filter?

I just tried the vtkTemporalPathLineFilter in 3.98 and some of the options seem 
to have disappeared. I will have to get it working again and submit a patch.

Hi, Christian,

   The old ParticlePathLine filter is replaced by ParticlePath filter.  Unlike 
the old one, you do not have to attach it to a particle tracer.  Also make sure 
you set the "TerminationTime" parameter to the largest possible time.

   I have written an article about this work: .

   Let me know if this works for you.

thanks,

Leo

Hello,

in Paraview 3.98 the ParticlePathLines Filter is gone away. We use this to show 
the trajectory of simple particle data (x,y,z), based on ID. Is this intended ?

I got it back by copy & paste the proxysource from filter.xml in 3.14 (line 
6679++) to 3.98. Would it be possible to add back the old ParticlePathlines 
Filter (with single inputsource and Pathline & Particle as output) in 3.98 
because I love the webGL scene export in the new Paraview.

Thanks,
Christian
