Alan,

Yes, I am calling it many times at the same angular location, but it's tough to 
know you're at the same angular location without calculating the angle.

Also, C++ is definitely orders of magnitude quicker, but once I have to compile 
routines into Paravew life gets very complicated.   We barely survived 
compiling for cluster use and I haven't written C++ for at least 20 years.

So, if possible, I would like a clever external add-on that wouldn't require us 
to re-compile PV everytime we update our version.   I have visions of library 
errors in my nightmares!

Are there places on the cylinder you are calling atan2 with the same inputs, 
returning the same data, lots of times?  Alternatively, could you calculate 
this in the simulation, and just add it to the simulation output?  I am 
speculating that a C++ call to atan2 may be faster than numpy?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Calculating cylindrical coordinates

All,

If I wanted to run atan2(X,Y) on millions and millions of nodes to calculate 
cylindrical coordinates, but found that numpy.atan2 in a Programmable Filter 
was taking 45 minutes to run,   what should I do to make it much faster?

Thanks for any hints

Dennis
