Description
    Writes point data in glTF v2 format

    Two files are generated:
    - filename.bin  : a binary file containing all scene entities
    - filename.gltf : a JSON file that ties fields to the binary data

    The output can contain both geometry and fields, with additional support
    for colours using a user-supplied colour map, and animation of particle
    tracks.

    Controls are provided via the optional formatOptions dictionary.

    For non-particle track data:

    \verbatim
    formatOptions
    {
        // Apply colours flag (yes | no ) [optional]
        colours     yes;

        // List of options per field
        fieldInfo
        {
            p
            {
                // Colour map [optional]
                colourMap       <colourMap>;

                // Colour map minimum and maximum limits [optional]
                // Uses field min and max if not specified
                min             0;
                max             1;

                // Alpha channel [optional] (uniform | field)
                alpha           uniform;
                alphaValue      0.5;

                //alpha           field;
                //alphaField      T;
                //normalise       yes;
            }
        }
    }
    \verbatim

    For particle tracks:

    \verbatim
    formatOptions
    {
        // Apply colours flag (yes | no) [optional]
        colours     yes;

        // Animate tracks (yes | no) [optional]
        animate     yes;

        // Animation properties [optional]
        animationInfo
        {
            // Colour map [optional]
            colourMap       <colourMap>;

            // Colour [optional] (uniform | field)
            colour          uniform;
            colourValue     (1 0 0); // RGB in range [0-1]

            //colour          field;
            //colourField     d;

            // Colour map minimum and maximum limits [optional]
            // Note: for colour = field option
            // Uses field min and max if not specified
            min             0;
            max             1;

            // Alpha channel [optional] (uniform | field)
            alpha           uniform;
            alphaValue      0.5;

            //alpha           field;
            //alphaField      T;
            //normalise       yes;
        }
    }
    \endverbatim

Note
    When writing particle animations, the particle field and colour properties
    correspond to initial particle state (first data point) and cannot be
    animated (limitation of the file format).
