Hi, I am able to do a volume visualization for each component of a 3 component array (i.e. a vector) of both point and cell data in PV 5.3. This was done with a both a vtkImageData and a vtkUnstructuredGrid. Once I choose my 3 component array for volume rendering in the upper left corner of the GUI, the default is the Magnitude but I can switch to each component as well with the drop down dialog that is just to the right of where I choose which array I want to pseudo-color by.
Any chance you could share your dataset and specific instructions on how you're doing things? Alternatively, you can use the Calculator filter to extract one component of your multi-component array but this is a bit computationally wasteful.
