[Paraview] big black dot highlighting current time in PlotSelectionOverTime?

[Samuel Key]

Fred,

The official name of the tool to which I was mistakenly referring to as 
a "filter" is called "Select Points On." It is the third tool to the 
right of the "?" icon on the top row of icons.

I have attached an example of the display that I thought you were 
looking to obtain. The frame on the left is a deformed mesh plot (actual 
location of the grid at the current time), with a large black dot on the 
grid point for which Velocity(0=x) and Velocity(1=y) versus time are 
shown in the right panel. This is a snap-shot at 94.6 milliseconds in an 
animation that runs out to 135.0 milliseconds. The green vertical line 
in the right panel is a fiduciary showing the location in time of what 
is being displayed in the left panel. (Note the mesh in the left panel 
is 1X100x125 unstructured grid of 8-node hexahedrons.)

This animation was obtained with ParaView 3.14.1 (64-bit) using results 
from an EnSight Gold binary-formatted results file.

Hope this answers your question.

At the bottom of this window you can select the color and size of the selected point. It is a little tricky to keep the selected point high-lighted when doing the side-by-side animation of the mesh and the x-vs-y plot. If I recall correctly, the Selection filter needs to be the active element in the Pipeline Browser window.
