Glyphs: Scale only the arrow length instead of the whole glyph size
The glyph filter has the nice property which allows to scale the glyph. However, for all arrow glyphs, a better way of scaling would be to scale only the length of the arrow by a quantity instead of the whole arrow (shaft and tip thickness). This simply gives a much clearer overview if there are regions with big and small arrows in one domain.

feel free to use it as you see fit. i was able to compile it into paraview manually.
i understand there is an effort to include it within the main:

I paid JB to write this module. I have the code--it is debugged and working--and would like someone else to add it to the project. (I don't know how.)
Please let me know whom to send the code to...

Unfortunately, this has not been implemented. I am not sure what nooj is referring to. Unless I missed some contribution somehow...

It has now been two years since you told me that this feature is already included but not yet activated. Can you activate it?
Regards,
Michael

i think this has actually been done, and should make its way into a release sooner or later.
