Re: [Paraview] questions re VTK-formatted file
For the color map question you asked inside your link, maybe you could double check the colormap you created. Paraview's colormap editor can be a bit touchy, and it's easy to accidentally add extra points. When I tried your example data, it correctly colored the point with scalar value 1 using the default color map. Try running clean-to-grid filter before you run the contour filter. Clean to grid will convert the image data to unstructured grid data. The contour filter will work after that. Maybe someone else can tell you why it doesn't work without conversion. Paraview is being clever, and displaying your data by default in a 2D View. The output of the contour filter is displayed in the 3D view, so that's why a new view pops open. After you open your data, you can right-click the area above the render view and choose Covert To in the context menu to convert the 2D view to a 3D view.
