[Paraview] Joining / Merging different data sources

[Ken Mankoff]

Hi,

Thanks for the pointer to Group Datasets, Andy. That seems to be useful.

BUT even that has issues... if I group, then the Delauny2D applies to
all, etc. 

Is there a way to apply a global Z-scale? When working with topography
it would be nice to not worry about each of the many individual data
products brought in, and just have them all scaled by 3 or 10 in Z
only. Is this possible?

Thanks,

  -k.
