It sounds like you are reading in an array with 0 or 1 dimensions (not 
including time).  Although the reader should happily create an image data of 
that structure, the standard rendering views only understand image data of 2 or 
3 dimensions.  Hence you get the error.

If you want to see the data in a plot, try adding the "Plot Data" filter.

Hi,

I am trying to read in a netCDF file using Paraview 3.6.2.  It can 'see' the 
netCDF file, but when I attempt to read in the file by pressing 'Apply', I get 
the following error message:

ERROR: In 
/home/kitware/ParaView3/Utilities/BuildScripts/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/Servers/Filters/vtkTexturePainter.cxx,
 line 280
vtkTexturePainter (0xb8a0000): Incorrect dimensionality.

I'm not sure which netCDF release created the netCDF file.  However, I read in 
a previous post that paraview 3.6.1 could handle netCDF 4, and since  "all 
netCDF files ever written can always be read by the latest netCDF release. That 
is, we guarantee backward data compatibility" then 3.6.2 should be able to 
handle my netCDF file (which wasn't created too recently).

I can read the netCDF file into MATLAB, so it isn't corrupt.

So what's the problem?

thanks
Joel
