[Paraview] Plot Maximum Value over Time

[Moreland, Kenneth]

The following is inelegant, but should work.  First, run the "Descriptive
Statistics" filter on whatever data you want to plot the maximum.  From
your description, it sounds like it would be the output of an extract
selection filter.  In the object inspector, select only the variable you
are interested in (in your case speed).

The descriptive statistics filter has two outputs, the "Statistical Model"
and the "Assessed Data." You are interested in the Statistical Model.
When you apply the descriptive statistics filter, ParaView will add two
spreadsheet views, one if which is showing the statistical model.  It
should show a table with one row that describes the name of your variable
and the statistics computed from it (maximum being one of them).  Click
that row to select it.

With that row selected, create a "Plot Selection Over Time" filter.  In
the resulting plot, turn off all series except "Maximum".

Note that in the future we hope to integrate these descriptive statistics
with the "Find Data" dialog so that you can just directly select the
maximum value and plot that selection.
