Dear all,

I use netcdf-4 to write fields (density, temperature,...) in 3 dimensions to 
disk. These fields are given on a curvilinear grid (e.g. toroidal coordinates 
X,Y,Z). I have vectors containing the cartesian coordinates dependent on the 
curvilinear coordinates x(X,Y,Z), y(X,Y,Z), z(X,Y,Z) where x,y,z are cartesian 
coordinates and X,Y,Z are the curvilinear coordinates.
The CF - conventions tell that these vectors should be written out as auxiliary 
coordinates and the variables that depend on them should have the auxiliary 
coordinates as an attribute.
Now I cannot make paraview plot the fields correctly. When I read in the file 
it always shows me a rectangular box instead of a torus.
I would like to know if there is a working example somewhere on the internet 
showing how to use netcdf and paraview to first write and then plot a field on 
a structured grid that is not a simple cartesian or spherical grid. (I spent 
some time searching for this topic on the net but I couldn't find anything 
useful) What do I have to do to make paraview recognize my auxiliary 
coordinates?

Best
Matthias
