Calculator

Compute new attribute arrays as function of existing arrays. The Calculator filter computes a new data array or new point coordinates as a function of existing scalar or vector arrays. If point-centered arrays are used in the computation of a new data array, the resulting array will also be point-centered. Similarly, computations using cell-centered arrays will produce a new cell-centered array. If the function is computing point coordinates, the result of the function must be a three-component vector.

The Calculator interface operates similarly to a scientific calculator. In creating the function to evaluate, the standard order of operations applies. Each of the calculator functions is described below. Unless otherwise noted, enclose the operand in parentheses using the ( and ) buttons.

- Clear: Erase the current function (displayed in the read-only text box above the calculator buttons). - /: Divide one scalar by another. The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - *: Multiply two scalars, or multiply a vector by a scalar (scalar multiple). The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - -: Negate a scalar or vector (unary minus), or subtract one scalar or vector from another. The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - +: Add two scalars or two vectors. The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - sin: Compute the sine of a scalar. cos: Compute the cosine of a scalar. - tan: Compute the tangent of a scalar. - asin: Compute the arcsine of a scalar. - acos: Compute the arccosine of a scalar. - atan: Compute the arctangent of a scalar. - sinh: Compute the hyperbolic sine of a scalar. - cosh: Compute the hyperbolic cosine of a scalar. - tanh: Compute the hyperbolic tangent of a scalar. - min: Compute minimum of two scalars. - max: Compute maximum of two scalars. - x^y: Raise one scalar to the power of another scalar. The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - sqrt: Compute the square root of a scalar. - e^x: Raise e to the power of a scalar. - log: Compute the logarithm of a scalar (deprecated. same as log10). - log10: Compute the logarithm of a scalar to the base 10. - ln: Compute the logarithm of a scalar to the base 'e'. - ceil: Compute the ceiling of a scalar. floor: Compute the floor of a scalar. - abs: Compute the absolute value of a scalar. - v1.v2: Compute the dot product of two vectors. The operands for this function are not required to be enclosed in parentheses. - cross: Compute cross product of two vectors. - mag: Compute the magnitude of a vector. - norm: Normalize a vector.

The operands are described below. The digits 0 - 9 and the decimal point are used to enter constant scalar values. **iHat**, **jHat**, and **kHat** are vector constants representing unit vectors in the X, Y, and Z directions, respectively. The scalars menu lists the names of the scalar arrays and the components of the vector arrays of either the point-centered or cell-centered data. The vectors menu lists the names of the point-centered or cell-centered vector arrays. The function will be computed for each point (or cell) using the scalar or vector value of the array at that point (or cell). The filter operates on any type of data set, but the input data set must have at least one scalar or vector array. The arrays can be either point-centered or cell-centered. The Calculator filter's output is of the same data set type as the input.

The center computed is the parametric center of the cell, not necessarily the geometric or bounding box center. The cell attributes of the input will be associated with these newly created points of the output. You have the option of creating a vertex cell per point in the outpuut. This is useful because vertex cells are rendered, but points are not. The points themselves could be used for placing glyphs (using the Glyph filter).

Clip Generic Dataset

Clip with an implicit plane, sphere or with scalars. Clipping does not reduce the dimensionality of the data set. This output data type of this filter is always an unstructured grid. The Generic Clip filter cuts away a portion of the input data set using a plane, a sphere, a box, or a scalar value. The menu in the Clip Function portion of the interface allows the user to select which implicit function to use or whether to clip using a scalar value. Making this selection loads the appropriate user interface. For the implicit functions, the appropriate 3D widget (plane, sphere, or box) is also displayed. The use of these 3D widgets, including their user interface components, is discussed in section 7.4. If an implicit function is selected, the clip filter returns that portion of the input data set that lies inside the function. If Scalars is selected, then the user must specify a scalar array to clip according to. The clip filter will return the portions of the data set whose value in the selected Scalars array is larger than the Clip value. Regardless of the selection from the Clip Function menu, if the Inside Out option is checked, the opposite portions of the data set will be returned.

Contour Generic Dataset

Generate isolines or isosurfaces using point scalars.The Generic Contour filter computes isolines or isosurfaces using a selected point-centered scalar array. The available scalar arrays are listed in the Scalars menu. The scalar range of the selected array will be displayed. The interface for adding contour values is very similar to the one for selecting cut offsets (in the Cut filter). To add a single contour value, select the value from the New Value slider in the Add value portion of the interface and click the Add button, or press Enter. To instead add several evenly spaced contours, use the controls in the Generate range of values section. Select the number of contour values to generate using the Number of Values slider. The Range slider controls the interval in which to generate the contour values. Once the number of values and range have been selected, click the Generate button. The new values will be added to the Contour Values list. To delete a value from the Contour Values list, select the value and click the Delete button. (If no value is selected, the last value in the list will be removed.) Clicking the Delete All button removes all the values in the list. If no values are in the Contour Values list when Accept is pressed, the current value of the New Value slider will be used. In addition to selecting contour values, you can also select additional computations to perform. If any of Compute Normals, Compute Gradients, or Compute Scalars is selected, the appropriate computation will be performed, and a corresponding point-centered array will be added to the output. The Generic Contour filter operates on a generic data set, but the input is required to have at least one point-centered scalar (single-component) array. The output of this filter is polygonal.

Simplify a polygonal model using an adaptive edge collapse algorithm. This filter works with triangles only. The Decimate filter reduces the number of triangles in a polygonal data set.

BoundaryVertexDeletion (BoundaryVertexDeletion)	If this property is set to 1, then vertices on the boundary of the dataset can be removed. Setting the value of this property to 0 preserves the boundary of the dataset, but it may cause the filter not to reach its reduction target.	1	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).

Delaunay 2D

Create 2D Delaunay triangulation of input points. It expects a vtkPointSet as input and produces vtkPolyData as output. The points are expected to be in a mostly planar distribution. Delaunay2D is a filter that constructs a 2D Delaunay triangulation from a list of input points. These points may be represented by any dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter is a polygonal dataset containing a triangle mesh. The 2D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in this case n=2 and the simplexes are triangles). This criterion states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. In two dimensions, this translates into an optimal triangulation. That is, the maximum interior angle of any triangle is less than or equal to that of any possible triangulation. Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter is a list of points specified in 3D, even though the triangulation is 2D. Thus the triangulation is constructed in the x-y plane, and the z coordinate is ignored (although carried through to the output). You can use the option ProjectionPlaneMode in order to compute the best-fitting plane to the set of points, project the points and that plane and then perform the triangulation using their projected positions and then use it as the plane in which the triangulation is performed. The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive in some cases. To prevent problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may even want to add extra points to create a better point distribution.) If numerical problems are present, you will see a warning message to this effect at the end of the triangulation process. Warning: Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first three points will form a triangle; other degenerate points will not break this triangle. Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires unique input points. The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the convex hull.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	This property specifies the input dataset to the Delaunay 2D filter.		Accepts input of following types: vtkPointSet
ProjectionPlaneMode (ProjectionPlaneMode)	This property determines type of projection plane to use in performing the triangulation.	0	The value(s) is an enumeration of the following: XY Plane (0) Best-Fitting Plane (2)

Tolerance (Tolerance)	This property specifies a tolerance to control discarding of closely spaced points. This tolerance is specified as a fraction of the diagonal length of the bounding box of the points.	0.00001

BoundingTriangulation (BoundingTriangulation)	If this property is set to 1, bounding triangulation points (and associated triangles) are included in the output. These are introduced as an initial triangulation to begin the triangulation process. This feature is nice for debugging output.	0	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).

Delaunay 3D

Create a 3D Delaunay triangulation of input points. It expects a vtkPointSet as input and produces vtkUnstructuredGrid as output.Delaunay3D is a filter that constructs a 3D Delaunay triangulation from a list of input points. These points may be represented by any dataset of type vtkPointSet and subclasses. The output of the filter is an unstructured grid dataset. Usually the output is a tetrahedral mesh, but if a non-zero alpha distance value is specified (called the "alpha" value), then only tetrahedra, triangles, edges, and vertices lying within the alpha radius are output. In other words, non-zero alpha values may result in arbitrary combinations of tetrahedra, triangles, lines, and vertices. (The notion of alpha value is derived from Edelsbrunner's work on "alpha shapes".) The 3D Delaunay triangulation is defined as the triangulation that satisfies the Delaunay criterion for n-dimensional simplexes (in this case n=3 and the simplexes are tetrahedra). This criterion states that a circumsphere of each simplex in a triangulation contains only the n+1 defining points of the simplex. (See text for more information.) While in two dimensions this translates into an "optimal" triangulation, this is not true in 3D, since a measurement for optimality in 3D is not agreed on. Delaunay triangulations are used to build topological structures from unorganized (or unstructured) points. The input to this filter is a list of points specified in 3D. (If you wish to create 2D triangulations see Delaunay2D.) The output is an unstructured grid. The Delaunay triangulation can be numerically sensitive. To prevent problems, try to avoid injecting points that will result in triangles with bad aspect ratios (1000:1 or greater). In practice this means inserting points that are "widely dispersed", and enables smooth transition of triangle sizes throughout the mesh. (You may even want to add extra points to create a better point distribution.) If numerical problems are present, you will see a warning message to this effect at the end of the triangulation process. Warning: Points arranged on a regular lattice (termed degenerate cases) can be triangulated in more than one way (at least according to the Delaunay criterion). The choice of triangulation (as implemented by this algorithm) depends on the order of the input points. The first four points will form a tetrahedron; other degenerate points (relative to this initial tetrahedron) will not break it. Points that are coincident (or nearly so) may be discarded by the algorithm. This is because the Delaunay triangulation requires unique input points. You can control the definition of coincidence with the "Tolerance" instance variable. The output of the Delaunay triangulation is supposedly a convex hull. In certain cases this implementation may not generate the convex hull. This behavior can be controlled by the Offset instance variable. Offset is a multiplier used to control the size of the initial triangulation. The larger the offset value, the more likely you will generate a convex hull; and the more likely you are to see numerical problems. The implementation of this algorithm varies from the 2D Delaunay algorithm (i.e., Delaunay2D) in an important way. When points are injected into the triangulation, the search for the enclosing tetrahedron is quite different. In the 3D case, the closest previously inserted point point is found, and then the connected tetrahedra are searched to find the containing one. (In 2D, a "walk" towards the enclosing triangle is performed.) If the triangulation is Delaunay, then an enclosing tetrahedron will be found. However, in degenerate cases an enclosing tetrahedron may not be found and the point will be rejected.

The Input menu allows the user to select the data set to which this filter will be applied. Use the Scalar range entry boxes to specify the minimum and maximum scalar value to be generated. The Low Point and High Point define a line onto which each point of the data set is projected.

As each point is injected, it "splats" or distributes values to nearby voxels. Data is distributed using an elliptical, Gaussian distribution function. The distribution function is modified using scalar values (expands distribution) or normals (creates ellipsoidal distribution rather than spherical). Warning: results may be incorrect in parallel as points can't splat into other processor's cells.

NonlinearSubdivisionLevel (NonlinearSubdivisionLevel)	Nonlinear faces are approximated with flat polygons. This parameter controls how many times to subdivide nonlinear surface cells. Higher subdivisions generate closer approximations but take more memory and rendering time. Subdivision is recursive, so the number of output polygons can grow exponentially with this parameter.	1

Material Interface Filter

The Material Interface filter finds volumes in the input data containg material above a certain material fraction. The Material Interface filter finds voxels inside of which a material fraction (or normalized amount of material) is higher than a given threshold. As these voxels are identified surfaces enclosing adjacent voxels above the threshold are generated. The resulting volume and its surface are what we call a fragment. The filter has the ability to compute various volumetric attributes such as fragment volume, mass, center of mass as well as volume and mass weighted averages for any of the fields present. Any field selected for such computation will be also be coppied into the fragment surface's point data for visualization. The filter also has the ability to generate Oriented Bounding Boxes (OBB) for each fragment. The data generated by the filter is organized in three outputs. The "geometry" output, containing the fragment surfaces. The "statistics" output, containing a point set of the centers of mass. The "obb representaion" output, containing OBB representations (poly data). All computed attributes are coppied into the statistics and geometry output. The obb representation output is used for validation and debugging puproses and is turned off by default.

Multicorrelative Statistics

Compute a statistical model of a dataset and/or assess the dataset with a statistical model. This filter either computes a statistical model of a dataset or takes such a model as its second input. Then, the model (however it is obtained) may optionally be used to assess the input dataset.<p> This filter computes the covariance matrix for all the arrays you select plus the mean of each array. The model is thus a multivariate Gaussian distribution with the mean vector and variances provided. Data is assessed using this model by computing the Mahalanobis distance for each input point. This distance will always be positive.<p> The learned model output format is rather dense and can be confusing, so it is discussed here. The first filter output is a multiblock dataset consisting of 2 tables: <ol> <li> Raw covariance data. <li> Covariance matrix and its Cholesky decomposition. </ol> The raw covariance table has 3 meaningful columns: 2 titled "Column1" and "Column2" whose entries generally refer to the N arrays you selected when preparing the filter and 1 column titled "Entries" that contains numeric values. The first row will always contain the number of observations in the statistical analysis. The next N rows contain the mean for each of the N arrays you selected. The remaining rows contain covariances of pairs of arrays.<p> The second table (covariance matrix and Cholesky decomposition) contains information derived from the raw covariance data of the first table. The first N rows of the first column contain the name of one array you selected for analysis. These rows are followed by a single entry labeled "Cholesky" for a total of N+1 rows. The second column, Mean contains the mean of each variable in the first N entries and the number of observations processed in the final (N+1) row.<p> The remaining columns (there are N, one for each array) contain 2 matrices in triangular format. The upper right triangle contains the covariance matrix (which is symmetric, so its lower triangle may be inferred). The lower left triangle contains the Cholesky decomposition of the covariance matrix (which is triangular, so its upper triangle is zero). Because the diagonal must be stored for both matrices, an additional row is required — hence the N+1 rows and the final entry of the column named "Column".

Python Annotation

This filter evaluates a Python expression for a text annotation This filter uses Python to calculate an expression. It depends heavily on the numpy and paraview.vtk modules. To use the parallel functions, mpi4py is also necessary. The expression is evaluated and the resulting scalar value or numpy array is added to the output as an array. See numpy and paraview.vtk documentation for the list of available functions. This filter tries to make it easy for the user to write expressions by defining certain variables. The filter tries to assign each array to a variable of the same name. If the name of the array is not a valid Python variable, it has to be accessed through a dictionary called arrays (i.e. arrays['array_name']).

Slice Generic Dataset

This filter cuts a data set with a plane or sphere. Cutting is similar to a contour. It creates surfaces from volumes and lines from surfaces.The Generic Cut filter extracts the portion of the input data set that lies along the specified plane or sphere. From the Cut Function menu, you can select whether cutting will be performed with a plane or a sphere. The appropriate 3D widget (plane widget or sphere widget) will be displayed. The parameters of the cut function can be specified interactively using the 3D widget or manually using the traditional user interface controls. Instructions for using these 3D widgets and their corresponding user interfaces are found in section 7.4. By default, the cut lies on the specified plane or sphere. Using the Cut Offset Values portion of the interface, it is also possible to cut the data set at some offset from the original cut function. The Cut Offset Values are in the spatial units of the data set. To add a single offset, select the value from the New Value slider in the Add value portion of the interface and click the Add button, or press Enter. To instead add several evenly spaced offsets, use the controls in the Generate range of values section. Select the number of offsets to generate using the Number of Values slider. The Range slider controls the interval in which to generate the offsets. Once the number of values and range have been selected, click the Generate button. The new offsets will be added to the Offset Values list. To delete a value from the Cut Offset Values list, select the value and click the Delete button. (If no value is selected, the last value in the list will be removed.) Clicking the Delete All button removes all the values in the list. The Generic Cut filter takes a generic dataset as input.

Smooth

This filter smooths a polygonal surface by iteratively moving points toward their neighbors. The Smooth filter operates on a polygonal data set by iteratively adjusting the position of the points using Laplacian smoothing. (Because this filter only adjusts point positions, the output data set is also polygonal.) This results in better-shaped cells and more evenly distributed points. The Convergence slider limits the maximum motion of any point. It is expressed as a fraction of the length of the diagonal of the bounding box of the data set. If the maximum point motion during a smoothing iteration is less than the Convergence value, the smoothing operation terminates.

Stream Tracer For Generic Datasets

Integrate streamlines in a vector field.The Generic Stream Tracer filter generates streamlines in a vector field from a collection of seed points. The vector field used is selected from the Vectors menu, so the input data set is required to have point-centered vectors. The Seed portion of the interface allows you to select whether the seed points for this integration lie in a point cloud or along a line. Depending on which is selected, the appropriate 3D widget (point or line widget) is displayed along with traditional user interface controls for positioning the point cloud or line within the data set. Instructions for using the 3D widgets and the corresponding manual controls can be found in section 7.4. The Max. Propagation entry box allows you to specify the maximum length of the streamlines. From the Max. Propagation menu, you can select the units to be either Time (the time a particle would travel with steady flow) or Length (in the data set's spatial coordinates). The Init. Step Len. menu and entry specify the initial step size for integration. (For non-adaptive integrators, Runge-Kutta 2 and 4, the initial step size is used throughout the integration.) The menu allows you to specify the units. Time and Length have the same meaning as for Max. Propagation. Cell Length specifies the step length as a number of cells. The Integration Direction menu determines in which direction(s) the stream trace will be generated: FORWARD, BACKWARD, or BOTH. The Integrator Type section of the interface determines which calculation to use for integration: Runge-Kutta 2, Runge-Kutta 4, or Runge-Kutta 4-5. If Runge-Kutta 4-5 is selected, controls are displayed for specifying the minimum and maximum step length and the maximum error. The controls for specifying Min. Step Len. and Max. Step Len. are the same as those for Init. Step Len. The Runge-Kutta 4-5 integrator tries to choose the step size so that the estimated error is less than the value of the Maximum Error entry. If the integration takes more than Max. Steps to complete, if the speed goes below Term. Speed, if Max. Propagation is reached, or if a boundary of the input data set is crossed, integration terminates. This filter operates on any type of data set, provided it has point-centered vectors. The output is polygonal data containing polylines.

Temporal Cache

Saves a copy of the data set for a fixed number of time steps.The Temporal Cache can be used to save multiple copies of a data set at different time steps to prevent thrashing in the pipeline caused by downstream filters that adjust the requested time step. For example, assume that there is a downstream Temporal Interpolator filter. This filter will (usually) request two time steps from the upstream filters, which in turn (usually) causes the upstream filters to run twice, once for each time step. The next time the interpolator requests the same two time steps, they might force the upstream filters to re-evaluate the same two time steps. The Temporal Cache can keep copies of both of these time steps and provide the requested data without having to run upstream filters.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions

Temporal Interpolator

Interpolate between time steps.The Temporal Interpolator converts data that is defined at discrete time steps to one that is defined over a continuum of time by linearly interpolating the data's field data between two adjacent time steps.

If set to anything else, then the output will define a finite set of time points on its output, each spaced by the Discrete Time Step Interval. The output will have (time range)/(discrete time step interval) time steps. (Note that the time range is defined by the time range of the data of the input filter, which may be different from other pipeline objects or the range defined in the animation inspector.) This is a useful option to use if you have a dataset with one missing time step and wish to 'file-in' the missing data with an interpolated value from the steps on either side.	0.0

Temporal Particles To Pathlines

Creates polylines representing pathlines of animating particles Particle Pathlines takes any dataset as input, it extracts the point locations of all cells over time to build up a polyline trail. The point number (index) is used as the 'key' if the points are randomly changing their respective order in the points list, then you should specify a scalar that represents the unique ID. This is intended to handle the output of a filter such as the TemporalStreamTracer.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	The input cells to create pathlines for.		Accepts input of following types: vtkPointSet The dataset must contain a field array (point)
Selection (Selection)	Set a second input, which is a selection. Particles with the same Id in the selection as the primary input will be chosen for pathlines Note that you must have the same IdChannelArray in the selection as the input		Accepts input of following types: vtkDataSet
MaskPoints (MaskPoints)	Set the number of particles to track as a ratio of the input. Example: setting MaskPoints to 10 will track every 10th point.	100
MaxTrackLength (MaxTrackLength)	If the Particles being traced animate for a long time, the trails or traces will become long and stringy. Setting the MaxTraceTimeLength will limit how much of the trace is displayed. Tracks longer then the Max will disappear and the trace will apppear like a snake of fixed length which progresses as the particle moves. This length is given with respect to timesteps.	25
MaxStepDistance (MaxStepDistance)	If a particle disappears from one end of a simulation and reappears on the other side, the track left will be unrepresentative. Set a MaxStepDistance{x,y,z} which acts as a threshold above which if a step occurs larger than the value (for the dimension), the track will be dropped and restarted after the step. (ie the part before the wrap around will be dropped and the newer part kept).	1.0 1.0 1.0
IdChannelArray (IdChannelArray)	Specify the name of a scalar array which will be used to fetch the index of each point. This is necessary only if the particles change position (Id order) on each time step. The Id can be used to identify particles at each step and hence track them properly. If this array is set to "Global or Local IDs", the global point ids are used if they exist or the point index is otherwise.	Global or Local IDs	An array of scalars is required.

Temporal Shift Scale

Shift and scale time values.The Temporal Shift Scale filter linearly transforms the time values of a pipeline object by applying a shift and then scale. Given a data at time t on the input, it will be transformed to time t*Shift + Scale on the output. Inversely, if this filter has a request for time t, it will request time (t-Shift)/Scale on its input.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	The input to the Temporal Shift Scale filter.		Accepts input of following types: vtkDataObject
PreShift (PreShift)	Apply a translation to the data before scaling. To convert T{5,100} to T{0,1} use Preshift=-5, Scale=1/95, PostShift=0 To convert T{5,105} to T{5,10} use Preshift=-5, Scale=5/100, PostShift=5	0.0
PostShift (PostShift)	The amount of time the input is shifted.	0.0
Scale (Scale)	The factor by which the input time is scaled.	1.0
Periodic (Periodic)	If Periodic is true, requests for time will be wrapped around so that the source appears to be a periodic time source. If data exists for times {0,N-1}, setting periodic to true will cause time 0 to be produced when time N, 2N, 2N etc is requested. This effectively gives the source the ability to generate time data indefinitely in a loop. When combined with Shift/Scale, the time becomes periodic in the shifted and scaled time frame of reference. Note: Since the input time may not start at zero, the wrapping of time from the end of one period to the start of the next, will subtract the initial time - a source with T{5..6} repeated periodicaly will have output time {5..6..7..8} etc.	0	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).
PeriodicEndCorrection (PeriodicEndCorrection)	If Periodic time is enabled, this flag determines if the last time step is the same as the first. If PeriodicEndCorrection is true, then it is assumed that the input data goes from 0-1 (or whatever scaled/shifted actual time) and time 1 is the same as time 0 so that steps will be 0,1,2,3...N,1,2,3...N,1,2,3 where step N is the same as 0 and step 0 is not repeated. When this flag is false the data is assumed to be literal and output is of the form 0,1,2,3...N,0,1,2,3... By default this flag is ON	1	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).
MaximumNumberOfPeriods (MaximumNumberOfPeriods)	If Periodic time is enabled, this controls how many time periods time is reported for. A filter cannot output an infinite number of time steps and therefore a finite number of periods is generated when reporting time.	1.0
TimestepValues (TimestepValues)

Temporal Statistics

Loads in all time steps of a data set and computes some statistics about how each point and cell variable changes over time.Given an input that changes over time, vtkTemporalStatistics looks at the data for each time step and computes some statistical information of how a point or cell variable changes over time. For example, vtkTemporalStatistics can compute the average value of "pressure" over time of each point. Note that this filter will require the upstream filter to be run on every time step that it reports that it can compute. This may be a time consuming operation. vtkTemporalStatistics ignores the temporal spacing. Each timestep will be weighted the same regardless of how long of an interval it is to the next timestep. Thus, the average statistic may be quite different from an integration of the variable if the time spacing varies.

The field error is measured as the difference between a field value at the midpoint of an output edge and the value of the corresponding field in the original nonlinear geometry.
Maximum Number of Subdivisions (MaximumNumberOfSubdivisions)	This property specifies the maximum number of times an edge may be subdivided. Increasing this number allows further refinement but can drastically increase the computational and storage requirements, especially when the value of the OutputDimension property is 3.	3

PreventSeam (PreventSeam)	Control how the texture coordinates are generated. If Prevent Seam is set, the s-coordinate ranges from 0->1 and 1->0 corresponding to the theta angle variation between 0->180 and 180->0 degrees. Otherwise, the s-coordinate ranges from 0->1 between 0->360 degrees.	1	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).

Threshold

This filter extracts cells that have point or cell scalars in the specified range. The Threshold filter extracts the portions of the input dataset whose scalars lie within the specified range. This filter operates on either point-centered or cell-centered data. This filter operates on any type of dataset and produces unstructured grid output. To select between these two options, select either Point Data or Cell Data from the Attribute Mode menu. Once the Attribute Mode has been selected, choose the scalar array from which to threshold the data from the Scalars menu. The Lower Threshold and Upper Threshold sliders determine the range of the scalars to retain in the output. The All Scalars check box only takes effect when the Attribute Mode is set to Point Data. If the All Scalars option is checked, then a cell will only be passed to the output if the scalar values of all of its points lie within the range indicated by the Lower Threshold and Upper Threshold sliders. If unchecked, then a cell will be added to the output if the specified scalar value for any of its points is within the chosen range.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	This property specifies the input to the Threshold filter.		Accepts input of following types: vtkDataSet The dataset must contain a field array () with 1 component(s).
Scalars (SelectInputScalars)	The value of this property contains the name of the scalar array from which to perform thresholding.		An array of scalars is required.The value must be field array name.
Threshold Range (ThresholdBetween)	The values of this property specify the upper and lower bounds of the thresholding operation.	0 0	The value must lie within the range of the selected data array.
AllScalars (AllScalars)	If the value of this property is 1, then a cell is only included in the output if the value of the selected array for all its points is within the threshold. This is only relevant when thresholding by a point-centered array.	1	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).
UseContinuousCellRange (UseContinuousCellRange)	If off, the vertex scalars are treated as a discrete set. If on, they are treated as a continuous interval over the minimum and maximum. One important "on" use case: When setting lower and upper threshold equal to some value and turning AllScalars off, the results are cells containing the iso-surface for that value. WARNING: Whether on or off, for higher order input, the filter will not give accurate results.	0	Accepts boolean values (0 or 1).

Triangle Strips

This filter uses a greedy algorithm to convert triangles into triangle stripsThe Triangle Strips filter converts triangles into triangle strips and lines into polylines. This filter operates on polygonal data sets and produces polygonal output.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	This property specifies the input to the Triangle Strips filter.		Accepts input of following types: vtkPolyData
MaximumLength (MaximumLength)	This property specifies the maximum number of triangles/lines to include in a triangle strip or polyline.	1000

Triangulate

This filter converts polygons and triangle strips to basic triangles.The Triangulate filter decomposes polygonal data into only triangles, points, and lines. It separates triangle strips and polylines into individual triangles and lines, respectively. The output is polygonal data. Some filters that take polygonal data as input require that the data be composed of triangles rather than other polygons, so passing your data through this filter first is useful in such situations. You should use this filter in these cases rather than the Tetrahedralize filter because they produce different output dataset types. The filters referenced require polygonal input, and the Tetrahedralize filter produces unstructured grid output.

Property	Description	Default Value(s)	Restrictions
Input (Input)	This property specifies the input to the Triangulate filter.		Accepts input of following types: vtkPolyData

Warp By Scalar

This filter moves point coordinates along a vector scaled by a point attribute. It can be used to produce carpet plots. The Warp (scalar) filter translates the points of the input data set along a vector by a distance determined by the specified scalars. This filter operates on polygonal, curvilinear, and unstructured grid data sets containing single-component scalar arrays. Because it only changes the positions of the points, the output data set type is the same as that of the input. Any scalars in the input dataset are copied to the output, so the data can be colored by them.

Warp By Vector

This filter displaces point coordinates along a vector attribute. It is useful for showing mechanical deformation. The Warp (vector) filter translates the points of the input dataset using a specified vector array. The vector array chosen specifies a vector per point in the input. Each point is translated along its vector by a given scale factor. This filter operates on polygonal, curvilinear, and unstructured grid datasets. Because this filter only changes the positions of the points, the output dataset type is the same as that of the input.
