We won't magically convert cells to points, or points to cells. There are three examples I found in this case. ParaView has a design philosopy that we will attempt to never do something hidden or under the covers.
PARAVIEW 4.1 HOW TO
A bit of background, then what is happening, then how to solve it. Given that this is either a potential bug or a feature, you may want to ask about this at the Development sub-forum at ParaView's Discourse server: - because I don't know if this is a ParaView bug/feature or if VTK (the main library ParaView depends on) is to blame here. If you forget to add the calculator after you've already added the Glyph entry, you can still add the calculator to the slice or any other entry, then right-click on the Glyph entry and choose to "Change Input." Then since it's then a point data scalar field, the field "Result" as shown above will appear in the "Coloring" options for the Glyph. The workaround is to use a Calculator filter in the middle, that calculates the "mag(U)" field as point data: they were simply filtered out, as well as the "glyphVector" entry that used to be there for Glyphs.

I've gotten ParaView 5.6.0 from and indeed the vector fields are missing.

I should also mention that I am running ParaView on MacOS Mojave. I can not see any other obvious settings that would affect what data fields are available under "Coloring". If I change the "Scale Array" to "U", "p" or "No scale array", the arrows are scaled as expected.īut for "Coloring", only the "p" point data field is available (as well as "Solid Color", "vtkCompositeIndex", "CasePath" and "ctkBlockColors (partial)" as I wrote in my previous post). For "Orientation Array" I select the U cell (or point) data field.
PARAVIEW 4.1 SERIES
The settings in 5.6 look a bit different, I will attach a series of screenshots that show all settings for the Glyph.Īs in your example, I set "Glyph Type" to "Arrow". Notice under "Active Attributes" the "Vectors" selection of the correct field. Here is an example of how to select the U cell data field for the glyphs: In version 5.4 there are options on which scale field to use and if the data is mapped or not. Quick answer: I don't have ParaView 5.6 at hand yet, but my guess is that you haven't checked all of the existing Glyph settings that exist.
