[Paraview] how to extract elevation at a point for a dynamic, implicit surface

2013-10-04 Thread Chris Kees
I can't seem to work out the  proper sequence  of filters for the following.

I have a 2D triangular mesh with a time-dependent scalar field, say phi. I
want to generate a single isoline, say phi=0, which I can do with the
contour filter, but then I want to generate a single point by intersecting
the isoline with a vertical line, say x=1. Then I want to save the time
series of that point, which would look something like  t_0, 1,  y(t_0),
t_1, 1, y(t_1),...,t_n since the x-coordinate doesn't change.

Thanks,
Chris

The equation x=1 is actually a plane in 3-space, not a line. So what you really 
want to do is intersect your contour with the plane at x=1. You can easily do 
this with the slice filter.

Next, select the resulting point with the select points on or select cells 
on tool (in the toolbar buttons right above the 3D view). Then add the plot 
selection over time filter. You should see the data you want in a chart. Now, 
just save data and output as a csv file.
