I obtain a 2nd order tensor and want to display it in paraview. I already obtain the Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors and write them to a VTK file as an example:
# vtk DataFile Version 2.0

DATASET UNSTRUCTURED_GRID

VECTORS Direction2 float

TENSORS OrientTensor float

For reference, I also wrote the 3 orthogonal vectors:
Now, it is straight forward to create a tensorglyph, however for better visual interpretation of the resulting glyph, I would like to color it according to the distance from the center of the point, ie, the distance of the ellipsoidal surface to the point the tensor is defined on.
Is there a filter to calculate the distance and apply it on the tensor?
