| 533 | Give particles a tail.\\ |
| 534 | A particle tail is defined by the path a particle has moved along starting from some point of time in the past. It consists of a set of descrete points in space which may e.g. be connected by a line in order visualize how the particle has moved.\\\\ |
| 535 | By default, particles have no tail. Parameter [#skip_particles_for_tail skip_particles_for_tail] can be used to give only every n'th particle a tail.\\ |
| 536 | The length of the tail is controlled by parameters [#maximum_number_of_tailpoints maximum_number_of_tailpoints], [#maximum_tailpoint_age maximum_tailpoint_age], and [#minimum_tailpoint_distance minimum_tailpoint_distance]. |
