Thanks for all the help. No, in the pull-down selection box of the color
field<br />
there are then only the fields:<br />
<br />
Color by:<br />
Cell cellNormals (3)<br />
and Point Normals (3) (+of course the normal uni-color "Property"
selection)<br />
This is what drive me crazy ...<br />
<br />
Any other ideas?<br />
<br />
I have found a python script that basically converts the xyz data into:<br />
<br />
xyz + scalar .vtk data file. Using this just for the<br />
point location information and setting simply the scalar value to the<br />
z-coordinate (quick and dirty) the .vtk file is read and all the colors are<br
/>
displayed perfectly on the points. The file format is quite simple:<br />
<br />
Therefore I decided to write a small program that parses the .case file and<br
/>
converts all the data into one single VTK file.<br />
<br />
The converter (as far as I have understood) just takes all the points and<br />
defines single-vertex cells (whatever this is). However this can be opened
and<br />
colorized in paraview without any problems.<br />
<br />
Any further ideas (I think I still am doing something wrong) are welcome ...<br
/>
<br />
For those who are interested, this is the format of the .vtk file that works:<br
