Stream tracer seeds from points in a CSV

ParaView Support

Hi All,

I want to feed ParaView a set of specific x, y, and z values for the stream tracer seeds, e.g. from a CSV file. How can I do this?

Thanks.

You can load a csv file directly into ParaView. You will get a table. You can then use the Table To Points filter to convert the rows of the table to points in space.

Once you have the seeds as points in space (and have also loaded the volume containing the vector field you want to create streams from), you can use the Stream Tracer With Custom Source filter. This filter will take two inputs. One input will be the volume containing the vector field. The other input will be the seed points.
