When we first begin to create a visualization for a data set, it is often necessary to explore the data to learn more about it. We may need to determine:
- The spatial location of the areas of interest
- The distribution of values for different data properties
- The data values that correlate to features of interest
Objectives
After you complete this workshop, you should be able to:
- For volumetric data, determine a slice location that allows you to inspect data values for features of interest.
- View a distribution of data values in a subset of a volume data set.
- Plot the data values along a line that crosses a volume data set.
Prerequisites
- Complete the basic ParaView tutorial.
