<br>
i tried the triangle filter in all cases - and yes - i works in
all three cases. <br>
<br>
So is this "problem" of concave polygons inside VTK or in OpenGL?
<br>
<br>

<div dir="ltr">I'm not sure if this is your issue, but you might
try using a triangle filter on your data. For OpenGL we do not
guarantee correct rendering of concave polygons. The triangle
filter will convert a concave polygon into convex triangles
which should render correctly.</div>

<div> Hi,<br>
<br>
i found a rendering problem with cuts through polyhedral
cells depending on which rendering backend is used. For
example in PV 5.1.2 compiled with<br>
<br>
VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND = OpenGL<br>
<br>
a cut looks like error.opengl.v5_1_2.png - there is a
wrong shading and some facets coming from the wrong
starting point.<br>
<br>
Switching to OpenGL2 everything is fine
(error.opengl2.v5_1_2.png). This problem is the same with
ParaView 5.2.0RC1 and OpenGL or OpenGL2 - however there
seems to be an additional (smaller) problem using OpenGL2:
there are some lines drawn outside of the shell - see
error.opengl2.v5_2_0rc1.png (cutted on a different
position).<br>
<br>
The example cell is for testing is attached as "error.vtk"
- cut e.g. in x-direction on different positions to get
the described effects.<br>
<br>
Best regards,<br>
