Hi, I would like to let the Glyph1 move along “V”(vector variable)（or the StreamTracer1）, similar to the particle effect of the StreamLinesRepresentation plugin of Paraview, with the difference being that the arrow is moving. The Glyph1 has “Number of Particles”, “Max Time To Live” and etc.
Not used Animation View/Time Manger.
Thanks a lot !

Hi @newang
Use this trick with animation: [Streamline with Glyph in 3D animation - #2 by mwestphal](https://discourse.paraview.org/t/streamline-with-glyph-in-3d-animation/2565/2)

@mwestphal Thanks alot！It’s a good method, perhaps not smooth enough.

To make the animation smoother, try increasing the number of frames.
