Dear all, Well... I'm still attached to the original idea, and after some googling I found the following article and mantis entry... https://paraview.uservoice.com/forums/11350-general/suggestions/450560-glyphs-scale-only-the-arrow-length-instead-of-the http://www.vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=13660
So I've loaded the ArrowGlyph plugin onto my ParaView 4.3.1 32-bit (on linux (compiled by myself), and on windows vista (a binary downloaded from the paraview site)) and applied it to my data. But even though I can see glyphs and can change e.g. radius of shafts, I can NOT choose any "Scaling Array"; the pull-down menus do NOT respond to clicking... Any clue to this?
