Hello,

Is there any way that in a ‘Plot Over Line’ tool, the X axis is changed into Y axis?

 ![question-plot over line](https://discourse.paraview.org/uploads/default/original/2X/b/befa146ed85ffae9fa82667a4d2bb6049c027831.jpeg)

In the graph above by the Plot Over Line, the X axis represents Z (the height of geometry 0-0.9m) and the Y axis shows U Magnitude.

However, I would represent:  
X = U Magnitude  
Y = The height (m)

How can I change it?

Please help.

Thanks!

Go to the `Display` properties in the properties panel. Change the `X Array Name` parameter to what you want to represent the x axis (in this case, U magnitude). Then go to the `Series Parameters` table. Turn off all series and then turn on `arc_length`.

That works.  
Thanks, Kenneth!
