[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Integration of a 3d space onto a plane?

[Andy Bauer]

Well, with an unstructured grid a quick and dirty possible solution would
be to:
1) have the user specify a grid to project the solution onto using the
Plane source
2) For each point in the Plane source, do something like the plot over line
3) Then do an integration over that.

You've probably already thought of something better but that's my 2 cents
worth.

Good luck,
Andy
