Problem: Export one colum of spreadsheet
 

Hi all!

I have problem with paraview results export;

After data load i use Contour filter. It's required for drawing free surface.

Then i try to export only coordinates of contour point:
- select necessary column from spreadsheet
- File -> Save Data.

But in result csv there are all arrays (P, U, alpha, etc)

Please help. What I'm doing wrong? May be I also should use another filter?

BTW, can I copy columns directly from spreadsheet view? Ctrl+C of Edit->Copy don't work.

Thanks a lot!

Hi,

Usually I use some shell commands to modify the content. Something like this should work:

Use $2 in the awk print part for column 2 of the csv file or if you want only columns 1 and 3, use:

This is more a workaround though.

The pipe from sed to awk seems obsolete if you could use the IFS input for awk. Anyhow: would do the job too :)

I found that "file -> export scene" exports the actual selection in the spreadsheet view. It took way too much time to realize this...
This is ParaView 4.1.0 64-bit.

I share your opinion that a simple copy-paste functionality would be helpful!

@Carl-Magnus Arvhult: Many thanks for sharing your finding!
