[Paraview] Scaling axis and collating inputs

[Chris Coutinho]

Hi Erik,

To answer your first question, I have had success in the past using the ‘Calculator’ Filter, which you can use to calculate a new value based on a function of the coordinates and/or values of your domain. You can find that filter in ParaView 5.5.0 under ‘Filters -> Data Analysis -> Calculator.

Sometimes it’s enough to change the color scale so that it’s something other than a linear range, I think logarithmic scale is supported out of the box (ie. There is a checkbox under ‘rescale to custom data range’)

If you want to physically ‘move’ the data based on some scale (e.g. deformation), then you probably want to use the Transform filter, which for me is just on the toolbar.


I can’t help you with the second and third questions, and I hope others will be able to help.

Subject: [Paraview] Scaling axis and collating inputs

First question, is is possible to scale values, either domain and/or range, directly within paraview? Ideally there would be a way to apply a function to the domain value for each axis independently. Hence one could handle extreme disparities in range (i.e. latitude, longitude and elevation).
Second, is it possible to direct the data values from several files and plot them together on a histogram using different colors to indicate from which source the data was sourced?
Finally, given an unstructured set of points, plot the points in 3 space with a label which is either the index within the file, or a text label from the file.
thanks for any help,
-eric
