Re: [Paraview] big black dot highlighting current time in PlotSelectionOverTime?
Fred, Thanks for the expanded explanation and the figures. Now I understand your request. Var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plots is something in which I am also frequently interested in viewing. Given that PV using the Plot-Selection-Over-Time filter, can already make var-vs-time x,y-plots with a moving "green" vertical fiducial line when animated, and that the Plot-Selection-Over-Time filter can also make var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plots, it appears to me that it should be a very easy step to add a moving "green" fiducial dot to a var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plot when animated. Maybe an even simpler job would be to add a moving "green" fiducial cross-hair to a var1(t)-vs-var2(t) x,y-plot when animated. Your feature request has my vote. If there is only a single choice possible, I would prefer a "green" fiducial dot. The complete option would be [dot | cross-hair | dot cross-hair].

Long version: Samuel, thanks for the reply, but your solution is not the one I am looking for. Your plot uses time as the x-axis, and velocity as the y-axis. You are plotting y(x) = velocity . Your plot shows the current time by a vertical green line at time t=x. (See attached image XY-plot-with-time-as-X.png.) I would like to plot y(t) = stress x(t) = strain and show the current time by a dot at (x(t),y(t)). (See attached image XY-plot-with-current-time-marked.jpg.) I suppose my dot should be green because it's the equivalent of the vertical green line that Paraview automatically displays on plots with timestep as the x-axis. Does that make sense? Steps to recreate my image: - Load a mesh with at least two variables for each node. - Select one or more nodes. - Click PlotSelectionOverTime - Select the new plot and filter. + Note that the current time is marked by a vertical green line. - Under the Display tab, under "X Axis Data", - click "Use Data Array". - in the dropdown to the right, select your second variable. + Note that the current time is not marked. - Fred ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] big black dot highlighting current time in PlotSelectionOverTime?
I don't think We are talking about the same thing. I see how to highlight a point on my mesh (which is what I think you mean by saying Use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter. Maybe I don't know what you mean by polygon filter. Can you show me a picture of what you mean? I will follow up with a mock-up of what I am asking for. After you use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter, you have to select under the top-line View drop-down menu, the Selection Inspector window. At the bottom of this window you can select the color and size of the selected point. It is a little tricky to keep the selected point high-lighted when doing the side-by-side animation of the mesh and the x-vs-y plot. If I recall correctly, the Selection filter needs to be the active element in the Pipeline Browser window.

Fred, I have been able to produce the plots you want with PV. After you use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter, you have to select under the top-line View drop-down menu, the Selection Inspector window. At the bottom of this window you can select the color and size of the selected point.
