Hi ParaView, multicomponent point data for ParaView is written as 'vector' data with the desired number of components. In case numberOfComponents!=3 loading such data in ParaView results in permanent warnings. According to the following ParaView bug-report this can be avoided by using the 'scalar' type with the desired number of components instead:
http://paraview.org/Bug/bug_relationship_graph.php?bug_id=12024&graph=relation If 'vectors' is replaced by 'scalars' in the .vtu file ParaView does indeed not complain any more. As this report is not commented and we could not find appropriate documentation it's unclear if this is a ParaView bug or if we misuse the 'vector' type. Is it save to use scalar instead of vector for multicomponent point data? Or will we lose some ParaView functionality?
