Is the data associated with the points or the cells? It may be the case that your data is cell centered, so when you plot a point over time there is nothing to plot.
Look at the arrays on the information tab of the object inspector. A cube icon means the array is associated with the cells, a circle means the array is associated with the points. 2009/3/19 Pei-Ying Hsieh <[email protected]>: > Hi, Ken, > > Now I am able to plot selection over time, but, only if I select "cell", not > point. > > Thanks! > > Pei > > ________________________________ > From: Pei-Ying Hsieh <[email protected]> > To: "Moreland, Kenneth" <[email protected]> > Cc: paraview <[email protected]> > Sent: Thursday, March 19, 2009 10:57:17 AM > Subject: Re: [Paraview] plot point over time - how to use it? > > Hi, Ken, > > Thanks for the reply.
