hey Cynthia,
if your data is in, or can be converted to, CSV format just open it up,
and apply the table to points filter, followed by glyph filter. table to
points you'll need to specify the coordinate arrays and check keep all
arrays option. in the glyph filter properties you can select a sphere
glyph and select glyph all points option. this will put a sphere at each
point and you can scale and color them by any of the arrays.

Hi folks, An ignorant question. I know Paraview is great for
visualizing existing complex data sets, but I have a simple problem
wherein I need to create a dataset, and I would like to solve this
problem using Paraview, but I am unsure how to do so.
In brief, I have been given point data of radiance values of 3 sensors
placed in specific locations around a mesh. I have no 3D object
provided that represents the sensors, no 3d volume; just a spreadsheet
of values of sensor readings over time. For illustrative purposes, it
is desired to visualize the sensors as radiant spheres, and animate
how the 3 sensor values change over time, by showing the sensor
spheres varying in color.
It seems the way to go about this, is create source spheres in
Paraview, at the proper locations around the mesh object. This part
is easy! What is not clear to me, is if there is a way – and if so,
what is it – to associate my data tables of changing sensor values
with the Paraview sphere sources. Once I import the csv spreadsheet,
how can I associate it with an object already in Paraview? Can
someone kindly point me in the right direction, or tell me this cannot
be done. Thank you!
Cynthia
