Hi Martin, Unfortunately there is no reader for this format in VTK/ParaView. Moreoever, VPL looks like a vector graphics format and there is no such similar reader in VTK. However it looks like Madagascar can convert them to raster format (PNG, JPEG etc).
i) A way to go would be to develop a new C++ or Python reader for VPL that wiil on the fly convert them to a raster file and load them as a 2D image. As this is a animated file the reader will have to declare the number of frames in the animation as the number time steps of the data and then be able to provide the conversion of the frame requested by the pipeline. ii) Simpler : if conversion cannot be performed on the fly or if you can create a series of PNG/JPG files from Madagascar, you can just load them as a time series with ParaView (all files should be suffixed with the frame id (eg: frame0.png, frame1.png etc.) then in the Open File dialog of ParaView just select "frame*.png" item. Thus each file will be considered as a timestep of the time serie. Hope it is clear, Best *Joachim Pouderoux*, PhD *Technical Expert - Scientific Computing Team* *Kitware SAS <http://www.kitware.fr>* 2016-11-30 13:15 GMT-04:00 Martin Huarte Espinosa <martin.huar...@gmail.com> : > Dear Paraview enthusiasts: good day.
