[Paraview] Irregular outer boundary of Points

[Hedieh Ebrahimi]

Hi dear ParaView Users,

I am trying to see the outline of a number of points which I input in to
paraview as a CSV file
and then convert to points using "Table to Points" filter.

When putting the representation to "OUTLINE" , ParaView will show me a
rectangular outline of these points. What I am interested to see is an
irregular outline or outer boundary of these group of points which shows
exactly the area covered by the points. ( my points are 3D but I am
watching them on a 2D plane)

Is there anyway in ParaView to see the outline of Points as they actually
are (irregular boundary of the group of points)  and not an estimated
rectangular boundary as OUTLINE representation?


Thanks in advance for any help on this.

Try the Delaunay 3D filter.

Hello David,

Thanks for your reply. Delunay 3D will actually work and give me the
irregular area, but if I put the representation to outline to see the
outline of this object, again the outline will be a rectangle.

Is there anyway to see the outer boundary of a group of points without
seeing the interior points, that is is there anyway to see the PERIMETER
of a group of points?

Thanks a lot

[Felipe Bordeu]

Delaunay 3D -> extract surface .

then use  "Points" representations

Re: [Paraview] Irregular outer boundary of Points

[Hedieh Ebrahimi]

hi all,

thanks for reply.

Finally it seemed like " Feature Edges " filter from ParaView seems to work
to get the outer boundary of an irregular shape.

Thanks.
