Warp (scalar) (WarpScalar)
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.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Input
(Input)
This property specifies the input to the Warp (scalar) filter.  

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The dataset must contain a point array with 1 components.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkPointSet.

 
Normal
(Normal)
The values of this property specify the direction along which to warp the dataset if any normals contained in the input dataset are not being used for this purpose. (See the UseNormal property.) 0 0 1  
Scale Factor
(ScaleFactor)
The scalar value at a given point is multiplied by the value of this property to determine the magnitude of the change vector for that point. 1  
Scalars
(SelectInputScalars)
This property contains the name of the scalar array by which to warp the dataset.  

An array of scalars is required.

 
Use Normal
(UseNormal)
If point normals are present in the dataset, the value of this property toggles whether to use a single normal value (value = 1) or the normals from the dataset (value = 0). 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.

 
XY Plane
(XYPlane)
If the value of this property is 1, then the Z-coordinates from the input are considered to be the scalar values, and the displacement is along the Z axis. This is useful for creating carpet plots. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.
