Re: [Paraview] Paraview Visualization Ambiguity an a 2nd order Tetrahedra
Merhaba Umut, I would give it a bit more time before compiling ParaView for vector graphics. We are still working on resolving issues and making improvements. We also don't have any documentation yet. I CC'ed David. He is the main developer and can provide some more details.

The superbuild packages already have the vector graphics export built in (I verified with last night's build). If you'd like to build your own version, the current 'master' branch on git will have support for this feature (see http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install and follow the directions for the development version from git). To export a scene, use File - Export Scene, and select a vector graphics format. Currently, we have basic support for exporting 3D scenes and 2D charts as .ps, .eps, .svg, and .pdf files.

[Paraview] Paraview Visualization Ambiguity an a 2nd order Tetrahedra
Dear all, I have a mesh which is composed of 2nd order tetrahedral elements, however if this mesh is visualized in paraview then see that inside one 2nd order elements other elements are created. So the displayed number of elements are not correct. I am a rather new user of Paraview. The vtk input file seems to be correct and I am comparing that to Gmsh input files and they match. However, Paraview divides the tetra elements in extra 1st order like elements. I guess I am mistaken at some point.
