Data Formatting Example • Data set: 4x4x4 rectilinear grid
with one scalar variable
![Page 10: Visualization with ParaView - University of Texas at Austin](https://reader031.fdocuments.us/reader031/viewer/2022012416/6170f6cf9c572a0526106e29/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
ParaView Visualization Pipeline
• All processing operations (filters) produce
data sets
• Can further process the result of every
operation to build complex visualizations
– e.g. can extract a cutting plane, and apply
glyphs (i.e. vector arrows) to the result
• Gives a plane of glyphs through your 3D volume

Demonstration
• WRF weather forecast data set – Rectilinear grid
– Multiple scalar and vector variables
– Time series
• Can show: – Clouds
– Wind
– Temperature
– …

ParaView Today we will:
• Create isosurfaces for a scalar
variable
• Clip and slice the isosurfaces
• Use glyphs to display a vector
field

• Add slices to show variable
values over a plane
• Adjust opacities of filters
• Add color legends
• Create volume rendering
