[Paraview] OSPRay, scaled spheres

Recapping, hopefully the relevant bits:

Pipeline: PgmableSource -> Glyph (only show Glyph)

Glyph Properties: 
 Source: 2D Glyph
 Type: Vertex
 Active Attrs: Scalars: cell_radius
 Scaling:  Mode: scalar
               Factor: 1

OSPRay Use Scale Array - yes
               Scale Array: cell_radius
Enable OSPRay - yes

Let’s say my cell_radius has a range [5,10]

I cannot figure out how to scale up my cells to be large enough. I’ve dabbled with the OSPRay Scale Function editor, with no success.

The Scaling Factor above seems to have no effect. Is there a global scaling factor I’m missing?

(irrelevant bit, I think… I’m Masking: Every Nth Point)

I’ll experiment with my simple 2 cell example later…

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.
