Ahh, this is a bug in mayavi2's reader for classic VTK files. I'll fix it as soon as I clean up the trunk or make a branch for the fix. For now you have two possible solutions. 1. Convert your VTK file to an XML one using the vtk2xml.py script that ships with VTK. If you can't find that its here: http://www.aero.iitb.ac.in/~prabhu/software/code/mayavi/vtk2xml.py Just run it on your VTK file and it will generate an XML file that is compressed, so you'll save space as well. When you use this file you should be able to choose between multiple scalars. 2. Click on the "Reader" button of the VTK file reader UI and select "read all scalars" on the UI. Then drag the reader to the shell and type this: dragged.update_data() on the shell. That will read all the scalars.
