[Paraview] Plot over line

[Colin McAuliffe]

Hi Samuel, thanks for the response. My line is on a boundary which  
remains a strait line so there is no worry of the line becoming  
curved. My data set contains mesh node points which are fixed in time,  
along with the nodal displacements which give the deformed  
configuration when the warp filter is applied. I can do what you  
describe but this will give me the POL of the undeformed  
configuration. What I want to do here is get a plot over line on the  
warped mesh, since I need to compute an integral along the warped edge.

Thanks
Colin
