This has come up before. I don't know if anyone has resolved to take actions to fix the problem, but this email thread has a workaround.

This trivial onept.vtk: # vtk DataFile Version 3.0 vtk output ASCII DATASET POLYDATA POINTS 1 float 0 0 0 POINT_DATA 1 SCALARS scalars float LOOKUP_TABLE default 0 will orient a cone glyph pointing along the x-axis and a cylinder glyph along the y-axis. Appending a (0,0,1) vector to this datafile: VECTORS vectors float 0 0 1 will now orient the cone pointing outward along the z-axis, but the cylinder glyph still is oriented along the x-axis. What am I missing? (Fwiw, I can't seem to figure it out in a VTK script either, using glyph.SetVectorModeToUseVector() ) thanks, Randy _______________________________________________ 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 **** Kenneth Moreland *** Sandia National Laboratories *********** *** *** *** email: [email protected] ** *** ** phone: (505) 844-8919 *** web: http://www.cs.unm.edu/~kmorel
