| Real world concept | Paraview terminology | Instructions |
|---|---|---|
| Display points | Glyph filter -> Spheres | |
| Display lines as cylinders instead of raster lines | Tube filter | |
| Triangulate a set of points (form a mesh) | Delaunay Filters | |
| Downsample a point set | Quadric clustering | |
| Measure the distance between two points | Sources -> Ruler | Hover over the first point then press 'p'. Then hover over the second point and press 'p' again. The distance is displayed in the Properties tab of the Object Inspector. |
| Downsample a point set | Quadric clustering or Clean | |
| A filter cannot be applied to a data set that it should work on | Run "Extract Surface" first. This has nothing to do with a surface, it simply converts an unstructured grid to a polygonal mesh so that it is the correct data type for the filter you are trying to use. |
