| Loading data is a fundamental operation in using ParaView for visualization.
| |
| As you would expect, the '''Open''' option from the '''File''' menu and the the '''Open Button''' from the toolbar both allow you to load data into ParaView. The list of supported file formats for ParaView can be found on the '''List Of Readers'''. Because of ParaView's modular design it is easy to integrate new VTK readers so check beck every release for new supported file formats. If you are interested in creating new readers for ParaView see the [http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_a_Reader|Plugin HowTo]

| == Advanced Data Loading ==
| |
| If you commonly load the same data into ParaView each time, you can streamline the process by launching ParaView with the data command-line argument (<code>--data=data_file</code>). You can also launch ParaView

| == Object Inspector ==
| |
| | |
| Note that opening a file is a two step process, so that you do not see any data after opening a data file. Instead, you see that the object inspector is populated with several options about how we want to read the data.
