I does at least know that Paraview *used to* only support volume rendering for unstructured grid data and voxel datasets, i.e. datasets in which the grid spacing is constant along each direction (but different spacing in the different directions are allowed). The volume rendering capabilities did at least not previously support rectilinear grids with non-uniform spacing. See f.ex. http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2012-May/024992.html

I guess your VTS dataset is written as a rectilinear grid with non-uniform spacing? (I have never used this viewer)

Maybe they simply have added this support (or a workaround) in the latest 4.2 series? And that volume rendering of VTS data is not possible in your 3.x version?

Hi

I have 3D output in vts format produced using PetscViewerVTKopen and VecView. I cannot volume render the data using paraview 3.x. The latest version of paraview (4.2.x) can visualise it.

How can I make 3D vts output that is compatible with paraview 3.x?

thanks
Sanjay
