Lorenzo, Yes, you can do this.
Under the Display tab, choose the color of the front face in the "Color" control panel. Set the "Color by" option to Solid Color, then pick the color you want with the "Set Solid Color..." button. Then scroll down almost to the bottom of the Display tab. There is a "Backface Style" panel. If you set the representation to Surface, you can then pick the color of the backface. You can do other things, to, such as turn on front face or back face culling, which you might find useful. Hope that helps, Cory On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 10:33 AM, Lorenzo <lovecraf...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi all; > I was wondering if there's a way in paraview to color surfaces (ie triangles > in a stl file) by the direction of their normals (inwards or outwards). > > Meaning, if you pick a triangle, one side of it will be of one color while > the other side will be of a different color, depending on whether that > triangle normal is point towards the triangle of away from it. > > > Thank you > > Lorenzo > > > _______________________________________________ > Powered by www.kitware.com > > Visit other Kitware open-source projects at > http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html > > Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: > http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView > > Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: > http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview -- Cory Quammen Research Associate Department of Computer Science The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
