Ah yes okay - I am still using VTK 4.2 which is why I did not see it..<br><br>I will switch to the latest one then..!<br><br>Thank-you for your help!<br><br>-PB<br><br><blockquote><hr>Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 15:07:51 +1000<br>From: andrew.amaclean@gmail.com<br>To: vtkusers@vtk.org<br>Subject: Re: [vtkusers] visualizing scattering of random points<br><br><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">No if you read the recent documentation, vtkParticleReader will read text or binary files, it will also read an associated scalar value.

<font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">I generally create a little program using this that reads the particles (points) and outputs them to a format recognized by VTK or ParaView eg. the .vtp format.
</span></font><BR>
<font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Alternatively, there is a .csv reader in ParaView (which I haven't used).</span></font><BR>

<font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: navy; font-family: Arial;">Alternatively create a PolyData structure yourself and load the data into it</span></font><BR>
