Ok - I think I know what the problem is...

Anyone with ATI graphics card here who can reproduce my problem? I'm pretty sure that if you have an ATI graphics card, you'll have the same problem as me...

I guess whoever the vtk-file works for, is using NVIDIA graphics cards (or something other than ATI) - am I right, Utkarsh?

So I'm completely sure the problem is related to the graphics card drivers. Can somebody here confirm my theory?

No luck reproducing the problem here (see attached image). Try running
with "-dr" command line option. Wondering is some setting got changed
inadvertently that's causing this problem.

Dear all,

Ok - my problem was/is related to a 20-node element - please see this simple
vtk-file and then change to "wireframe" and *pplease* tell me why I cannot
see the true grid/mesh, but these annoying triangles that make up the
element...

Please advice (somebody more clever than me) and perhaps suggest a solution
so I can see the true mesh/grid for a 20-node element like I uploaded! :-)

Thanks,

Subject: [Paraview] [newbie] show grid in paraview - wireframe shows
triangles instead of quads...

Hi all,

[newbie question]: I want to show my mesh/grid in paraview and turn on
"wireframe" mode. But this shows triangles instead of quads... I
colleague of mine says that on his windows pc the correct quad mesh is
shown but on my linux pc, I only see triangles...

Please help me understand how to see the true grid instead of the
triangles...

Thanks.
