[Paraview-developers] Paraview Scene Graph

[Cory Quammen]

Mohamed,

You should do this with "Group Datasets". Group your children nodes
together, then apply a Transform filter to the group. You can further
group the Transform filters to apply additional rotations to the
higher level grouping as you would expect in a scene graph.

This won't be as efficient as applying a transform at every scene
graph level in the GPU, for example, but it should provide you some
basic scene graph capabilities.

HTH,
Cory
