If you just need the center of the bounds, you can go to the information panel, average the bounds in each dimension, and then do a translate transform to move that point to the origin.<BR>

Sorry, I should have specified this earlier. The data is a point<BR>
cloud. Each point has a vertex cell. The data set is far from<BR>
centered. Maybe this is the problem - there is no "area"? Here is the<BR>
data set: <a href="http://rpi.edu/~doriad/Paraview_List/data.vtp">http://rpi.edu/~doriad/Paraview_List/data.vtp</a><BR>

Thanks for your help,<BR>
