Hi,  
I am trying to do something that I think should be possible, but I don’t find a nice way of doing it. I have a series of CSV files that represent the position of particles in time. I can use the TableToPoints and then TemporalParticlesToPathlines filters to get them to animate in time, which is good. Now what I would like to do, for some of this particles (I can filter them by their id) is to plot a scalar quantity in time and animate it, kind of like this: [https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-019-45121-2/MediaObjects/41598\_2019\_45121\_MOESM2\_ESM.mp4](https://static-content.springer.com/esm/art%3A10.1038%2Fs41598-019-45121-2/MediaObjects/41598_2019_45121_MOESM2_ESM.mp4)  
The plot selection over time just gives me the total time evolution, whereas I would like it to dynamically update with the rest of the animation. Is there a way to do this? Thank you in advance.
