[Paraview] 2D Glyph Circle

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Alternatively, you could try creating the circle you want some other way (for example sphere -> slice), then use the Glyph (Custom Source) filter (instead of the standard Glyph filter) to use the circle you created.

You cannot change it, unless you modify the source code. It is
hard-coded to generate 8 points.

Look in ./VTK/Graphics/vtkGlyphSource2D.cxx

vtkGlyphSource2D::CreateCircle()

I am now using the binary version of paraview 3.4.
 If I want to change, I will have to download the source and modify it and compile.. right? No other way?

Thanks
