[Paraview] Will paraview calculate ISO-surfaces given...

[Mattijs Janssens]

There is no need to install VTK. This is all built-in (in the paraview 
executable).

You will need to create a vtk compatible input file from your data. Go 
file->open data and see what formats it supports. You will need to use a 
cell based format.
