[Paraview] How to construct "Standard" 2d contour plots

[Berk Geveci]

Unless I am misunderstanding your question, you should be able to
change the scaling of the result one of two ways:

1. from the display page using the Transformation settings (Scale)
2. using the transform filter

(1) changes how the data is rendered. (2) actually changes the point
coordinates.

Also, you don't have to use the contour filter to achieve the effect
in the second image. You can simply color by that variable using the
toolbar or the display page.

I hope that this answers your question.
