<P><FONT SIZE=2>Hi Ken,<BR>
<BR>
Ok, I tried that. I have a N=98 legacy vtk series and want to map the 0->97 time steps to 4575->7000. So when TemporalShiftScale is applied, from trial and error it seems to m=n*a+m0 where n=1..N, a is the scale, m0 is the shift. But in the Animation Inspector "Start" is still shown as 0 even though "End" is now 7000 (for any Play Mode) - first problem. Even so, second problem (same as before) is that when an Annotate Time source text is added, with the Sequence Play Mode, again, moving the animation forward (pressing |> button) increments the time display (i.e. 777.77.., 1555.55..., ... 7000) but keeps the data view on the final data series. Feels like a bug but maybe I have to set up keyframes. Normally its all automatic.<BR>

No, that is the wrong way to go about it. Changing the timekeeper time will<BR>
adjust the times sent to the reader. You will still have the mismatch<BR>
ParaView will not load in all of the time steps that you want.<BR>
<BR>
Instead, apply the "Temporal Shift Scale" filter to your data to adjust its<BR>
range to the desired values. You will probably also have to change the<BR>
animation mode to Sequence to force ParaView to ignore the timesteps<BR>
reported from the original reader.<BR>
