There are multiple ways of probing a data set for point or cell values. The simplest is the Probe Location filter. Additionally, there are a variety of filters to plot data with respect to time, location, or grid object Id.
Probe Filter
The probe filter can be used to query a data set for point or cell data.
Options for the probe filter are:
- Show point button is used to show where the center of the sphere is for generating the probe points.
- Center on bounds will place the sphere center at the center of the data set's bounds.
- The sphere center can either be set in the properties tab of the object inspector or in the 3d view with the mouse cursor. To choose a new point in the 3d view window, press P and then click on the desired point. Note that the Show Point option must be selected.
The output for this filter is a single cell comprised of a set of points in a vtkPolyData.
