Just want to add that a programmatic (C++) solution is preferred rather than using the GUI
I have a C++ pipeline where I can set the properties of the cylinder glyph with vtkSMPropertyHelper. I have looked in filters.xml under vtkPVGlyphFilter source proxy (file located in <paraview_home>/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources) to see what my options are, but there is only one "SetInputArrayToProcess" that takes a vector attribute as input; nothing about a vector specifically for orientation.. Suggestions on how to handle this issue, are very welcome; other approaches than mine as well! ________________________________ Van: Ahmad . <super_ac...@hotmail.com> Verzonden: maandag 8 januari 2018 20:52 Aan: paraview@paraview.org Onderwerp: Re: Scaling cylinder glyph's radius and height individually Following up on my own question, I found out that if I scale by "Vector Components" it is possible to change the length of the cylinders with the second vector index, and the radius with the first and third. I need to rearrange my attribute data as such: [radius_x, length, radius_z]. If I keep radius_x == radius_z, then the cylinder will not deform, and the cross section stays a perfect circle. See the image in the attachment please. BUT the problem here is that "vector components" also affects the orientation of my cylindrical glyphs. I can turn this off in the properties menu, but I need to orient my cylinders based on another vector attribute data... I feel I'm getting somewhere, but if someone could give me an idea on how to now orient my glyphs with another vector data than the one I use now for scaling, that would be much appreciated!

Is there a way to scale the radius by a Scalar1, and the height be a Scalar2? I have an unstructured grid, and for each point I want to create a cylinder that can have an arbitrary radius and height. I thought Glyphs would be the way to go, but I'm kind of stuck with this issue. Any help is much appreciated; or if you can recommend a different way to achieve the above-mentioned please let me know! Best, Ahmad
