<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>This is
bug number 5659. Frankly, this has been a topic of debate for a while,

<DIV dir=ltr align=left><SPAN><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
problem is that ParaView creates a good scale for your glyph, using data from
time step 0. But, at time step 1, the data can be totally
different. For instance, if you use displacement from time step 0,
displacement will be very near zero for time step 0, and (relative to time
step zero) orders of magnitude larger for time step 1.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

is to start using the last time step to create these scales, realizing that

<DIV><BR>Alan, I don't follow. There is only time 0 in this example, so
shouldn't the scale be well defined and constant? Bug 5659 seems to be dealing
with the problem of glyph sizes not updating properly, this is dealing with them
not being correct from the
beginning.<BR><BR>David<BR></DIV></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
