[Paraview] slice as background image?

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi Cory,

that was what I looked for!
Just for the records, I didn't find the "Camera parallel projection" checkbox under the properties of the transform filter, but I got the desired effect by changing the camera interaction mode on the toolbar of the graphics window from 3d to 2D (ParaView 5.1.2 under Linux).

Thank you!

Matthias

Matthias,

You could change the camera from using perspective projection to parallel projection, then translate the plane to be being the streamlines. Check the "Camera Parallel Projection" checkbox under the View properties panel. As long as your view direction is orthogonal to the slice plane, the streamlines will appear in the correct position relative to the slice plane after you translate one or the other.

HTH,
Cory

Hi,

from a 3D dataset, I need to view a slice and streamlines from a line source lying in the slice plane. The problem is that the slice and the streamlines are overlapping, and part of the streamlines are covered by the slice. I cannot change the origins of slice or streamlines in order to move them slightly forward or backward, because that would make me lose details of what I want to see. When I use the transform filter to translate the slice, I get a mismatch due to the perspective rendering.
What I would like to do is just to put the slice in the background and the streamlines in the foreground. Is there a way to do that apart from saving the slice as image and use that as background image?

Thank you for a helpful hint,

Matthias
