I have some code that I am working on where I am calculating normals for triangles. I am trying to verify the calculation by visualizing the data in ParaView. I am writing a "Legacy" vtk file of type POLYDATA. I have a section in the CELL_DATA that starts out:
NORMALS SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals double When I load the data in ParaView I "see" that there is Cell Data called SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals that has 3 components. When I select the "Glyph" filter the SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals do not show up in any of the drop down combo boxes. If I use the "Normal Glyphs" filter isn't ParaView calculating its own normals? I don't want that. I also tried replacing the "NORMALS" with "VECTORS" but that did not help. This is with ParaView 3.14.1 (Custom Built) on OS X 10.6.8. Thanks in advance for any help or pointers on what I am doing wrong. ___________________________________________________________ Mike Jackson Principal Software Engineer BlueQuartz Software Dayton, Ohio mike.jack...@bluequartz.net www.bluequartz.net _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
