Just guessing here – you may have more spaces in the file than you think? Or, PV may be looking for a space, and you have two? That’s the reason I recommend commas.
Try this little toy problem that I use all the time: x-coord y-coord z-coord scalar 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 2 1 1 0 2 -0.5 -0.5 1 4 -0.5 -0.5 1 5 -0.5 -0.5 1 6 -0.5 -0.5 1 7 From: Zach [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, February 25, 2016 7:53 PM To: Scott, W Alan Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Importing Vector (i.e., CSV text) files Alan, I have tried the " ", and it didn't have the effect I had hoped for. Yes, table to point makes points at the coordinates. I have vectors at certain pixel coordinates - processed PIV images. I have (x,y) location with a vector of velocity components (Ux, Uy) at those coordinates. The table to point seems to be wanting a scalar value at the location.

Try changing the Field Delimiter Characters string to be “ “ Table to point makes points (or dots). I don’t understand your comment about vectors.

That means I have to go through 30,000 files and change the format - sure it only requires writing a script to change, but white space delimit is a fairly basic standard. I have used the table to point filter, but I have vector data, the filter reads an X, Y, and Z value. I have x and y location and then Ux, and Uy. So, i have only been able to get dots at the x,y locations so far but no vectors. Thanks for the help.

Then, use the Table to Point filter. There is more information here: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Data_formats Does that answer the question?

I am able to open the files, but they read in as a single column and I am unable to find the "delimit options" in any of the manuals or online materials. Do vector files need to be formatted with a particular scheme in order for Paraview to properly read them? Thanks Regards, Zach
