[Paraview] big black dot highlighting current time in PlotSelectionOverTime?

[Fred Nugen]

I don't think We are talking about the same thing. I see how to highlight a point on my mesh (which is what I think you mean by saying "Use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter." Maybe I don't know what you mean by "polygon filter."

Can you show me a picture of what you mean?  I will follow up with a mock-up of what I am asking for. 

> After you use the select point(s) inside a polygon filter, you have to select under the top-line View drop-down menu, the Selection Inspector window. At the bottom of this window you can select the color and size of the selected point. It is a little tricky to keep the selected point high-lighted when doing the side-by-side animation of the mesh and the x-vs-y plot. If I recall correctly, the Selection filter needs to be the active element in the Pipeline Browser window.
