[Paraview] visualizing a material in paraview

[David E DeMarle]

1) Look at the bottom of the glyph filter's properties tab. Max number
of points and random mode says pick 5000 points at random and only
glyph those. If turning that off makes paraview slow consider the
point sprite or manta plugins.

2) Use the gaussian resampling filter to push the values onto a
regular grid and then isocontour that.

To make it look more like atoms, I can also use the glyphs filter on the input file. But! some of the points end up outside the spheres. My question is, why are there points that don't turn into spheres? How does PV decide what turns into a glyph and what doesn't?

I thought I might be able to make a box that's the same size as my simulation box and intersect it with the glyphs object, but I can't figure out how to do that.
