Simon,

Assuming your 2D datum set is in x,y-coordinates, one can expand this to 3D by adding a 0.0 value for the "missing" z-coordinate.

PV has a Transform filter that will then let you add a constant value to the z-coordinate, or, equally easily, scale the z-coordinate.

On the other hand, if you really want to create a "carpet" plot that makes your 2D datum set appear as 'mountains and valleys,' one can likewise add the datum attribute (for example, density) as if it were the z-coordinate. Again, PV's Transform filter will let you scale the z-coordinate into a range that makes the image pleasing. It will be a 3D image, that is easily oriented for viewing. The coloring can be either by any of the point values, or a single color of your choosing.

There may be a more direct way to achieve this that someone else can explain?

Hope this helps.

Sam

Dear ParaView Users,

I have a vtm 2D data structure, containing:
-> vtp polygons
-> vti image data (field) data


now i want to translate the polygons (for an 'explosion view'), i.e. i want to add +1 to all z-coordinates of the polygons.


how can i do that? do i have to code it in the "programmable filter"?


thanks for any suggestion
simon
