Select cells/points on the Surface在表面上选择单元/节点

One of the simplest use-cases is to select cells or points on the surface of the dataset. It is possible to select surface cells by drawing a rubber-band on the 3D view. With the 3D view showing the dataset active, click on Select Cells (or Points) On in the Selection Controls toolbar or under the Edit menu (you can also use the ‘S’ key a shortcut for ‘Select Cells On’). This will put ParaView into a selection mode. In this mode, click and drag over the surface of the dataset in the active view to select the cells (or points) on the surface. If anything was selected, it will be highlighted in all the views showing the data and the source producing the selected dataset will become active in the Pipeline Browser. ParaView supports selecting only one source at a time. Hence even if you draw the rubber band such that it covers data from multiple sources, only one of them will be selected (the one that has the largest number of selected cells or points).

在3D视图条件下通过拉出一个“胶带”。可以在选择控制工具栏中用选择单元，或者用选择节点；又或者你可以用快捷键“S”来选择单元。这使得Paraview进入选择模式。在这个模式下，拖拉矩形框可以选择单元/节点。被选择单元/节点会高亮显示。

As mentioned earlier, when data from a source is selected, all the views displaying the data show the selection. This includes spreadsheet view as well. If the spreadsheet view will show cell or point attributes of the selected data, then it will highlight the corresponding rows. When selecting points, the spreadsheet view will show the selection only if point attributes are being displayed. When selecting cells, it will highlight the cells in the cell attribute mode, and highlight the points forming the cells in the point attribute mode. For any decent sized dataset, it can be a bit tricky to locate the selected rows. In that case, the Show only selected elements on the display tab can be used to hide all the rows that were not selected.

一旦选择，所有的试图都是针对此选择结果的。包括spreadsheet view。spreadsheet view是显示所选数据的单元或节点属性的。

When selecting cells (or points) on the surface, ParaView determines the cell (or point) ids for each of the cell (or point) rendered within the selection box. The selection is simply the ids for cells (or points) thus determined.
