    <p>GeorgeP,</p>
    <p>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. <br>
    </p>
    <p>IF you want to visualize the distortion, ParaView's Wrap filter
      will scale up the displacement values.<br>
