All,
Thanks for the input on this one. I did some further investigation
into this... it seems the "problem" lies with the netcdf4-python
interface. I set up some scripts to generate identical files using A)
ncgen, and B) netcdf4-python. The ncgen files are always recognized in
Paraview (quite smoothly, I might say), while the netcdf4-python files
aren't recognized. I'm not too sure what I am doing wrong with the
python interface, but this clearly isn't the place for that. I am not
going to get too worried about this, it doesn't seem to be a big issue
one way or the other.
As well, thanks David for the information on xdmf, I helped clear some
things up.
Thanks everyone for your help, I really appreciate it.

About the h5 files, ParaView requires an xdmf file the help it
interpret and load the contents of the hdf5 files.
See www.xdmf.org for an explanation of the xdmf format.

Ken,
Thanks for the reply. I have tested with both *.nc and *.ncdf, with
no luck
on the netCDF reader showing up on the list. I generated the netCDF
file
using the netcdf4-python (http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/)
interface, using the NETCDF4 and NETCDF3-CLASSIC filetypes. Both
types show
coherent output when using the netCDF viewer "ncdump." I checked the
Paraview Dataset file to see if there were any netCDF files, and
did not
come across any. I did however see there were *.h5 (hdf5) files. The
documentation states that these should have a viewer as well, but
when I
opened one of these files, I was presented with the same reader
list as
before, with no mention to an hdf5 reader.

ParaView first uses extensions to determine file type. Files with
extension
.nc or .ncdf are assumed to be netCDF files. If you are using
another
extension it should still work so long as the extension does not
conflict
with any other extension used. If no file extension matches you
should get
a dialog box asking you what type of reader to use. If the file is
detected
as a valid netCDF file, it should show up in that list.

Hi all, I have a question. I have been using VTK for some time now,
and have recently been focusing my efforts on Paraview. I am running
into a problem though. I am trying to import netCDF volume data. I am
able to import the file using the raw binary filter, which works
quite
well, however, when I try to import a netCDF file with compressed
variables, this approach does not work. Glancing through the
documentation, it appears that the is a netCDF reader built in,
however it doesn't look like my file is being associated with the
netCDF reader when opening. A little about my setup: Mac OS X 10.6.1,
Paraview 3.6.1 binary, netCDF 4.0.1. Any help on this would be really
appreciated. Thanks!
