hey Cynthia,<br>
<br>
if your data is in, or can be converted to, CSV format just open it
up, and apply the table to points filter, followed by glyph filter.
table to points you'll need to specify the coordinate arrays and
check keep all arrays option. in the glyph filter properties you can
select a sphere glyph and select glyph all points option. this will
put a sphere at each point and you can scale and color them by any
of the arrays.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Hi folks, An
ignorant question. I know Paraview is great for visualizing
existing complex data sets, but I have a simple problem
wherein I need to create a dataset, and I would like to
solve this problem using Paraview, but I am unsure how to do
so. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">In brief, I
have been given point data of radiance values of 3 sensors
placed in specific locations around a mesh. I have no 3D
object provided that represents the sensors, no 3d volume;
just a spreadsheet of values of sensor readings over time.
For illustrative purposes, it is desired to visualize the
sensors as radiant spheres, and animate how the 3 sensor
values change over time, by showing the sensor spheres
varying in color.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">It seems the
way to go about this, is create source spheres in Paraview,
at the proper locations around the mesh object. This part
is easy! What is not clear to me, is if there is a way –
and if so, what is it – to associate my data tables of
changing sensor values with the Paraview sphere sources.
Once I import the csv spreadsheet, how can I associate it
with an object already in Paraview? Can someone kindly
point me in the right direction, or tell me this cannot be
done. Thank you!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
