Hi there, I have converted my simulation data into image data using resampling to images and used other methods to convert the grid data into cell centres.

Now if i interactively selected the data points as shown, how to save the selected data into csv or txt with the structured coordinates.

Hello @Rokie

you can use the Find Data panel to extract the selection, it creates a dedicated filter. Then you can save your selection by selecting the filter and using the “save data” menu.

Best,

Please select `Point Data` in the attribute combo-box and you should get the point coordinates.  
Best,
