Hi folks, An ignorant question.  I know Paraview is great for visualizing 
existing complex data sets, but I have a simple problem wherein I need to 
create a dataset, and I would like to solve this problem using Paraview, but I 
am unsure how to do so.

In brief, I have been given point data of radiance values of 3 sensors placed 
in specific locations around a mesh.  I have no 3D object provided that 
represents the sensors, no 3d volume; just a spreadsheet of values of sensor 
readings over time.  For illustrative purposes, it is desired to visualize the 
sensors as radiant spheres, and animate how the 3 sensor values change over 
time, by showing the sensor spheres varying in color.

It seems the way to go about this, is create source spheres in Paraview, at the 
proper locations around the mesh object.  This part is easy!  What is not clear 
to me, is if there is a way – and if so, what is it – to associate my data 
tables of changing sensor values with the Paraview sphere sources.  Once I 
import the csv spreadsheet, how can I associate it with an object already in 
Paraview?   Can someone kindly point me in the right direction, or tell me this 
cannot be done.  Thank you!

Cynthia
