Thanks for the expanded explanation and the figures. Now I
understand your request. Var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plots is something
in which I am also frequently interested in viewing.<br>
<br>
Given that PV using the Plot-Selection-Over-Time filter, can already
make var-vs-time x,y-plots with a moving "green" vertical fiducial
line when animated, and that the Plot-Selection-Over-Time filter can
also make var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plots, it appears to me that it
should be a very easy step to add a moving "green" fiducial <b>dot</b>
to a var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plot when animated. <br>
<br>
Maybe an even simpler job would be to add a moving "green" fiducial
<b>cross-hair</b> to a var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plot when animated. <br>
<br>
Your feature request has my vote. If there is only a single choice
possible, I would prefer a "green" fiducial <b>dot</b>. The
complete option would be [dot | cross-hair | dot & cross-hair].<br>

<pre wrap="">Recasting my question: How do I display the current time in a
parametric plot where time is not the x-axis?
Long version:
Samuel, thanks for the reply, but your solution is not the one I am
looking for. Your plot uses time as the x-axis, and velocity as the
y-axis. You are plotting
y(x) = velocity .
Your plot shows the current time by a vertical green line at time t=x.
(See attached image XY-plot-with-time-as-X.png.)
I would like to plot
y(t) = stress
x(t) = strain
and show the current time by a dot at (x(t),y(t)). (See attached image
XY-plot-with-current-time-marked.jpg.)
I suppose my dot should be green because it's the equivalent of the
vertical green line that Paraview automatically displays on plots with
timestep as the x-axis.
Does that make sense?
Steps to recreate my image:
- Load a mesh with at least two variables for each node.
- Select one or more nodes.
- Click PlotSelectionOverTime
- Select the new plot and filter.
+ Note that the current time is marked by a vertical green line.
- Under the Display tab, under "X Axis Data",
- click "Use Data Array".
- in the dropdown to the right, select your second variable.
+ Note that the current time is not marked.
- Fred
