That's bug 5887: http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=5887
Do you have a particular reason to need this functionality? This bug has never been high priority because there does not seem to be any real need for it. That file is the only example I have ever run into of a legacy VTK file with no DATASET type specified. -Ken On 2/24/09 3:17 PM, "Steven Janzou" <sjan...@gmail.com> wrote: I cannot get the legacy financial.vtk (in the vtk data files) to read into Paraview. The file has six FIELD values and no DATASET type specified: # vtk DataFile Version 2.0 Financial data in vtk field format ASCII FIELD financialData 6 TIME_LATE 1 3188 float .... How does one read in FIELD data from legacy VTK files?
