Utkarsh I am a new user to Paraview - and therefore do not know what to do when you say to apply the transform filter. I therefore searched the web for more information on how to apply the transform filter in Paraview. The best I could find was here : http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2009-March/011560.html - I was able to use that answer to apply the scale that I need.
I have also applied the Delaunay filter - and now have a 3d surface chart that I wanted! What do I need to do to see the coordinates of the cursor as I move it over the surface chart? I need to see the values of the local maximum.
