Hey Phil, You *might* be able to hack it with a combination of a Programmable Filter and a Python Annotation Filter. Use the Programmable Filter to add a FieldData value to each time step that is a string with the appropriate date. Then use the Python Annotation Filter to display the date as an annotation.
The first part is the hard one. The Programmable Filter could either (1) read the file once to get all the dates, or (2) compute the dates using the starting date, the time step value, and Python's datetime module.

If you don’t get an answer, be sure to write up a bug report/ feature request. Alan From: ParaView [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Phil Amburn Sent: Wednesday, October 08, 2014 3:26 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] displaying simulation time rather than time step I would like to do something similar to the Annotate Time filter, but rather than displaying the time step number, I need to display simulation date and time. I have a text file with the actual simulation date and time associated with each time step. Here are the first few lines of that file Time step Time step output, Actual time 0 0.00, 4/1/2013 15:00 1 65.83, 4/1/2013 15:01 2 125.88, 4/1/2013 15:02 3 201.00, 4/1/2013 15:03 4 268.65, 4/1/2013 15:04 5 328.83, 4/1/2013 15:05 6 366.46, 4/1/2013 15:06 … So, rather than Time: 0 at the bottom of the 3D window, I’d like to have 4/1/2013 15:00 Any thoughts / recommendations on how to accomplish this task will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Phil
