[Paraview] multiple scalars

[Berk Geveci]

You mean there are two SCALARS field in the file? In this
case, ParaView (actually, VTK) will read only one. However,
if you add the second array as field, you can use both.
Something like (you better check the documentation, the
following might be a bit wrong):

...
POINT_DATA 686
SCALARS my_array1 float
LOOKUP_TABLE default
...
FIELD FieldData 1
my_array2 1 686 float
...
