This is what I meant: 1) load the vtk file ParaView now makes a pipeline that looks like this FileReader-Data And the data is like so (just a list of points in space): x1,y1,z1: x2,y2,z2: ... 2) Apply the Calculator Filter to add a constant valued point associated array to the data. Now

Dear All, I am a complete newbie in visualization, so an apology in advance is what I ask will sound trivial. I am browsing several Paraview tutorials, but I am missing out what I really need. Right now, I do NOT need e.g. to plot a temperature field on a metal slab with a non-trivial geometry.

To be honest, ParaView doesn't make loading in a simple list of coordinates as easy as it should. It's something we will be working on in the near future (e.g. bug #5016, http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=5016). However, it is still possible to do what you want, it just takes a few more

Try this: in the GUI filter the source or readers output through a calculator filter to add an array with a constant value. Then apply the Glyph filter and scale by the new array. Now save the output of the calculator as a VTK file and compare it with the original. Alright, we'll get to the
