Hi Jon, Good, that was going to be my next suggestion -- disabling "Interpolate Scalars Before Mapping" helps preserve colors that may otherwise be lost during the export.
As far as the axis, I think that might be as good as it gets. In ParaView, there are ways to render an object in an overlay so that it always appears on top, but the gl2ps library (which is used to generate the pdfs from the 3d geometry) internally depth sorts all of the primitives, so any overlay-tricks are ignored. A workaround would be to add an Outline source that is the same size as the axis you want, then enable it's axis and set the box's opacity to 0. This will in effect give you a custom axis that you can resize/relocate anywhere you'd like. By making it slightly larger than your geometry, it shouldn't clash like the other axis. Hope this helps, Dave On Tue, Feb 25, 2014 at 2:56 AM, Jon Vegard Venås <zeti...@gmail.com> wrote: > A new problem arises though.
