[Paraview] plot point over time - how to use it?

[Pei-Ying Hsieh]

Hi, Ken,

Thanks for the reply.  Now I can select the point.  But, I then select "plot selection over time" filter, I did not get any plot.  The spread sheet view showed that there is no point in the "plot selection over time" row.  I am not sure why that is.  Also, PV did not ask why field variable I am ploting.  I am missing something.

Any suggestion?

Pei

All of the select mechanisms work the same with the plot over time filter.  Simply do a "select points on" selection (the toolbar icon has a triangle with red points surrounded by a dotted box and a mouse cursor on it) and apply it to the plot filter in the same way you used the other selection.

Alternatively you could open the spreadsheet view, view the point data, click the row corresponding to the point you want to plot over time (this will select that point), and add the filter as you normally would.

Dear PV experts:

I loaded a transient dataset into paraview (3.4.0).  This is 3D unstrucutred mesh.

Is there any tutorial that shows how to "select a point using a mouse"?  Then, plot that point over time?

I know how to select a whole bunch of cells ("select cell through selection"), but, never know how to select just a point using the mouse.

Thanks!

Pei
