[Paraview] OSPRay, scaled spheres

[Heiland, Randy]

I only see the “OSPRay Use Scale Array” on the Properties for Glyph, not the Props for the ProgrammableSource. Expected? And so, OSPRay is rendering the chunky polygonalized spherical glyphs (Representation = Surface).

If I could independently scale the implicit spheres and use OSPRay, I’d prefer that until I do the vtkCutter. (thanks for confirming, Note 2)

If you don't like having to do this, file a feature request to remind the developers to implement it one of these days such that min is defined to be array min and max.

However, is there any mechanism for (independently) scaling these, i.e., other than the fixed Point Size? Or is the only way to get scalar-value scaled spheres via the Glyph filter? If so, is it possible to control the resolution/triangulation of that glyph? Basically, I’m looking for ways of getting high-res spheres, but will also want to use vtkCutter on them later.
