Hello, I am new to ParaView and I would like to plot spin textures in condensed matter systems. I have two csv files (containing energies and spins) which I am trying to plot. So far I have something like this:

but as you can see, all the spins are being plotted. I want something like this:

Please can someone help me?  
Thanks

Hi @vshah181 if I understand correctly you want to plot the spin glyphs only along the restricted domains instead of the whole dataset right ?

If my interpretation is correct you can do what you are looking for using the `ResampleWithDataset` filter. Pick as source the vector field (`FastUniformGrid` in my case)  
and as destination mesh the restricted domains, `Ellipse` in my case.  
Finally, apply Glyph filter in the new dataset.

Output:

That’s exactly what I was looking for. Thank you very much!
