Colin,
One way to accomplish this is to have a Programmable Filter generate a
polygonal data set (vtkPolyData) consisting of a single vertex and
convert all field data of the input data set into point data for this
vertex. Then, use one of the various means to select said vertex in
ParaView (lasso select or "Edit - Find Data" or "Spreadsheet View -
Select row") and apply the Plot Selection over Time filter subsequently.
As programmable filter script use something along the lines of:
- - - - -
inp = self.GetInput()
out = self.GetPolyDataOutput()
newPoint = vtk.vtkPoints()
newPoint.InsertPoint(0,0,0,0)
out.SetPoints(newPoint)
newCell = vtk.vtkCellArray()
vertex = vtk.vtkVertex()
vertex.GetPointIds().SetId(0,0)
newCell.InsertNextCell(vertex)
out.SetVerts(newCell)
if not inp.GetFieldData() is None:
if inp.GetFieldData().GetNumberOfArrays() > 0:
for fieldArrayIdx in
range(0,inp.GetFieldData().GetNumberOfArrays()):
data = inp.GetFieldData().GetArray(fieldArrayIdx);
name = inp.GetFieldData().GetArrayName(fieldArrayIdx);
# Use first entry of n-th field data array
if not data is None:
newData = vtk.vtkFloatArray()
newData.SetName(name)
newData.SetNumberOfComponents(1)
newData.InsertNextValue(data.GetValue(0))
out.GetPointData().AddArray(newData)
- - - - -
Hope that helps
