Dear All,
I want to export a plot from ParaView to be able to import to Google Earth Pro. How can I do that?
Thank you all

As you may know, Google Earth can import either GPX or KML files.
You might also be able to directly import the CSV file into Google Earth, I haven’t tried to do this.
There are two ways to get the GPX file:
The easiest way is to export Longitude, Latitude, Altitude as a CSV file and then use [GPSBabel](https://www.gpsbabel.org/) with a command similar to:
```bash
gpsbabel -i unicsv -f input-file.csv -o gpx -F output-file.gpx
```
Alternatively, you can:
1. Export Longitude, Latitude, Altitude as a CSV file.
2. Use either Python or C++ to import the CSV file and convert the data to the GPX format.
3. Then you can import it into Google Earth.
The GPX format is relatively simple. See [GPS Exchange Format](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GPS_Exchange_Format), additionally, there is a sample track there.
