[Paraview] Displacements

[Samuel Key]

GeorgeP,

IF your surfaces are originally planar, you might try using ParaView's 
Transform filter to translate your 'base point' to 0,0,0 and rotate, if 
needed, the data to get to get,  say x,y, to match the planar surface. 
One will then have, depending on what your datum set contains, the 
z-coordinate (or z-displacement) as an orthogonal measure of the other 
points' movement away from the planar surface.

IF you want to visualize the distortion, ParaView's Wrap filter will 
scale up the displacement values.
