The way I take it is that the PlotOverLine gives me values of all the fields present as defined on the Ruler (which is cool, by the way), but not the width unless I define it. Am I on the right track with this one, or way off?</div></div></blockquote><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">PlotOverLine will not give you the width. What I was suggesting was look at the values in the properties Point1 and Point2. Each of these has x,y,z values for the line endpoints. You can use the standard distance formula for computing the distance between points - not from within ParaView, but with a calculator, spreadsheet program, etc. - to compute the length of the line used in the PlotOverLine filter.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cory</div><div class=""> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thanks!</div><div class="">Jesse</div><div class=""><div class=""><blockquote type="cite" class=""><span class=""><div class="">On Sep 30, 2015, at 9:22 AM, Cory Quammen <<a href="mailto:cory.quammen@kitware.com" target="_blank" class="">cory.quammen@kitware.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class=""></span><span class="">Optionally, you could dispense with the Ruler source and compute the length of the line in the Plot Over Line filter manually given Point1 and Point2.</span></blockquote></div><span id="cid:E3829612-7F2F-4EBE-A61D-4DFD394ED3CB"><ControlRun2LevelIce copy.png></span></div></div></blockquote></div><br class=""><br clear="all" class=""><div class=""><br class=""></div>-- <br class=""><div class="gmail_signature">Cory Quammen<br class="">R&D Engineer<br class="">Kitware, Inc.</div>
