Dear Paraview Support,

 ![image](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/3X/6/b/6b1a0c9e4e6cdeb7fe8ecf3f68a74c7ad6edc2e6.png)

I am trying to plot a curve where the y-axis represents the velocity magnitude, whereas the x-axis represents the x-coordinates (image attached). In the properties panel, I can see that a custom range can be specified for the bottom axis, however, it only allows for mentioning a range (i.e. a maximum & a minimum value).

My question is “can I selectively remove the data from x = -0.05 to 0.05 and plot the rest i.e. 0.76 \< x \< 0.05 and -0.05 \< x \< -0.76”?

Hi,

You will need to filter your data before the plot. For instance using a `Threshold` filter.

Thanks for your answer. That helped. However, the `Threshold` filter wasn’t showing the x-coordinate values in the scalars list, so I included a `calculator` to pass on that array, and it worked.
