In the next release, this will be very easy to do with the Python Calculator. It will look like:<br><br>inputs[0].PointData['some_array'] - inputs[1].PointData['some_array']<br><br>-berk<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

The calculator will not accept multiple inputs, so if you want to use<br>
it you will have to append the data first, which makes it hard to<br>
compare side by side.<br>
<br>
You should consider using the python programmable filter instead. It<br>
will accept multiple inputs (there was a post earlier this week on the<br>
mailing list descriing how to access each one) and there are examples<br>
on the wiki of scripts which iterate through the geometry of its<br>
input.<br>
