[Paraview] ParaView VTK Legacy File Questions

I realized that my past email was not detailed enough as I was in a rush to
get it out, but attached are 3 files that should help explain what I am
trying to convey. The image named "No vectors" is what I currently have
modeled in ParaView from the data file (also included). What I am hoping to
have, is in the data file, a place to enter in the data for 3 different
vectors at as many points as I want and then be able to apply a filter via
ParaView so that the end result would look like the second image name BNT.

Hopefully this makes more sense.Thank you.
