[Paraview] how to work on table type object

[Luca Penasa]

Hi everybody,
i have just loaded a big table in paraview (5 columns and 4000000 rows).
This table represent points from a laserscanner in polar coordinates.
So, before to use the "table to points" filter, i need to operate some
arithmetics operations on the data for obtaining cartesian coordinates.
I see i cannot directly use "programmable filter" or "calculator" on a
table object. How can i do this kind of operation on the table??

I have another question... im working on a dual core laptop... so i was
wondering about the possibility to set up a local server for rendering,
for enabling paraview to use both cpus and obtain a little speed-up
during rendering operations. Is it possible??


thousand thanks!!
