<div dir="ltr"><div>Thanks Ken! that is exactly what I'm looking for. <br><br>I've been playing around with it and it works very well when I apply the filter directly to my data set. But when I try to extract a region and then apply it, the particles are jumping around causing the pathlines to be incoherent. I guess that it's reading the wrong particle at the next step. I've been using the threshold and extract selection filters to get to the region I need. Is there a better way to look at a section of particles without this happening? The input data doesn't have a particle key/ID or anything, which may be some of the problem.<br>

<div>Dear Paraview Community,<br>
<br>
</div>
I am trying to visualise pathlines for my particle data. I have a vtk file with point coordinates as input.<br>
<br>
As an example this is one input file for just three particles. With a collection of these, is it possible to view the movement of these particles over time?
<br>
<br>
# vtk DataFile Version 4.2<br>
Particle data from file output.0 at time 0 ms<br>
ASCII<br>
DATASET POLYDATA<br>
POINTS 3 double<br>
0 0 1<br>
2 0 0<br>
1 1 2<br>
<br>
<br>
<br>
</div>
There's a few temporal filters, and I've had a play with them but they currently produce errors for me, resulting in nothing shown or paraview crashing. I have looked through the archives, and it seems there might have been a way to do this in an old version,
but not right now?<br>
<br>
</div>
Thanks<br>
Tim<br>
