[Paraview] RE : RE : using with python - VTK multifiles animate

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Jona,

Please keep the discussion to the mailing list so that others can
participate as well.

TimestepValues is a read-only property. With the legacy reader it's
not possible to change the time values for legacy vtk files read as a
file series. You can create a pvd file which is an xml file describing
the time values for each file, however pvd doesn't support legacy VTK
files, you need to write the new xml-based vtk files.
