Hello everybody<br>
<br>
I'm using Paraview 3.4.0 to visualize 2D/3D geometrical models of systems made
of spherical particles.<br>
My input file contains the information about a VTK unstructured grid.<br>
Each node of the grid is the center of one spherical particle.<br>
Associate to each node there is a scalar parameter representing the radius of
the particle.<br>
<br>
after importing the VTK unstructured grid dataset I applied to it the sphere
glyph filter.<br>
I choose to scale each glyph according to the scalar PointData
"radius" in order to visualize different sphere according to their
size.<br>
<br>
Considering that a value "Radius" is also defined in the "Glyph
Type - Sphere2 section of the filter's "Properties" tab, which will
be the final actual size for each spherical particle ?<br>
<br>
I mean, how does Paraview handle simultaneously there two pieces of information
in the case of multiple spherical glyphs with different size ?<br>
One piece is the fixed radius, the other is the imported value for the radius
used for scaling the size of the different sphere ?<br>
<br>
I guess my question is strictly related to this other question: how is the
scaling performed when a 1D array of scalars is used as Scale Mode ?<br>
<br>
Any Tutorial or source of information about this detail ?<br>
<br>
How can I choose the "Radius" parameter in the "Properties"
tab of the glyph filter such that the actual radii of the rendered particles
correspond to the real values assigned to the unstructured grid ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'><br>
<br>
I also do similar things and what I used to do is<br>
<br>
<span style='color:black'>- to choose glyph type sphere<br>
- Scalar radii<br>
- <b>set Radius as 1</b> (in the Sphere tab just after Center property)<br>
- select scale mode scalar<br>
- <b>set scale factor 1</b></span><b><br>
</b><br>
Then it should correspond to real values... <br>
Hope other would correct me if I am being wrong here<br>
<br>
