Correct, comparative view is only useful for viewing changes in filter properties or time.<br><br>It may be possible to "cheat" to get comparative view to do some of what you want, but is definitely not an ideal solution...<br>
<br>Instead of 1 dataset with 8 variables, save your dataset 8 times, each with a different variable but use the same variable name. Now create a .pvd file that has 8 timesteps, each timestep points to one of the datasets. The comparative view will automatically show one "timestep" in each view frame, but really you're looking at your 8 different data variables. The cameras will be linked. All datasets will have to share the same colormap.<br>

I understand your example, but I am not interested in only 2 "dimensions" also, thes "dimensions" are filter properties to animate. What I want is just to show as many views as I have of fields in my dataset (Animation does not really matter at all). So I come back to my original question.<br>

Hi, <br><br>Comparative view has two modes- filmstrip and comparative. In filmstrip mode, only one variable changes and the views are ordered from left to right, top to bottom. In comparative mode, you can specify an X dimension and a Y dimension and can have one variable change along X and another change along Y.<br>
<br>Try this for a quick example:<br><br>Create sphere source<br>Convert view to 3D View (Comparative)<br>Go to the View menu and toggle on the Comparative View Inspector<br>Change the mode from filmstrip to comparative.<br>
Set 4 x frames and 4 y frames<br>In Animated Source (X Axis) choose Phi Resolution as the Property To Animate<br>Likewise, choose Theta Resolution for the Y Axis<br>Use the timeline widgets below to step the phi and theta resolutions from 3 to 100.<br>
Click the Update Button (if you dont want to click the update button each time, change the Update Mode combobox from Root to All)<br><br>Unforutnately when trying out this demo on my own computer I discovered a bug where some of the views do not get the correct property value :-( Let me know if you have similar problems.<br>

How do you specify the X and Y dimensions ? <br>How do you have one variable plotted per frame ? For example velocity on the 1st quadrant, pressure on the 2nd, enthalpy on the 3rd etc .... ?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

This is what comparative view is for.<br>
Pick one or two properties of any filter (or two) in the pipeline,<br>
specify the x and y dimensions and it will do it for you.<br>
