[Paraview] Irregular outer boundary of Points

[Hedieh Ebrahimi]

Hello David,

Thanks for your reply. Delunay 3D will actually work and give me the
irregular area, but if I put the representation to outline to see the
outline of this object, again the outline will be a rectangle.

Is there anyway to see the outer boundary of a group of points without
seeing the interior points, that is is there anyway to see the PERIMETER
of a group of points?

Thanks a lot
