We had thought of something along those lines, but I had not figured it out to 
that detail.  Thanks, that helps a lot!

Well, with an unstructured grid a quick and dirty possible solution would be to:
1) have the user specify a grid to project the solution onto using the Plane 
source
2) For each point in the Plane source, do something like the plot over line
3) Then do an integration over that.

You've probably already thought of something better but that's my 2 cents worth.

Good luck,
Andy

It is unstructured.  Thus, I believe your filter isn't a solution for me.

Thanks,

Hi Alan,

I was working on a filter that was similar to this. If I remember correctly it 
could handle both vtkRectilinearGrids and vtkImageDatas (it definitely couldn't 
handle vtkStructuredGrids, vtkPolyDatas or vtkUnstructuredGrids). It also 
worked in parallel (or was supposed to). I never quite put the finishing 
touches on it but if this is a high priority I can revisit it or share it and 
let someone else push it forward.

I have a user that has a 3d object, with variables in this 3d space.  For 
instance, a cube, with a variable (say temperature) at a high in the center of 
the sphere, and a low at the corners.  This user wants to look down one axis 
(say the X axis), and sum or integrate all of the variables from the 3d space 
onto the 2d plane the cube is sitting on.  This will produce a 2d surface with 
the max in the center, and min at the corners.

Is this possible in ParaView?  It sounds like a fairly high priority task.

Thanks,

Alan
