[Paraview] Ensight reader problems...

I've been getting some problems when trying to read an Ensight (not GOLD)
file generated by a Fortran routine written by myself. This routine writes
multiparts geometry files and three variable files (2 scalar and 1 vectorial
fields) in binary format. 

I've already checked the case file with the ens_checker.exe utility provided
by CEI and everything appears to be fine with my file (see ens_checker.out
file attached). When I try to read the file with the Ensight reader of the
Paraview (in little and big endian byte orders) nothing happens. What could
be happening?  

Another little question (or suggestion...):
Is there any way to shown labels in iso-contour plots?

Thanks for any help

Is the ParaView 1.6.3 directory hardcoded? I get hundreds of error messages
from cmake when I try to install ParaView under Redhat Fedora in
/usr/local/PV (the source is in /usr/local/PVdev) using my own copy of VTK
(its already installed elsewhere on the system so I removed the copy in
ParaView). I expected the cmake system to adapt or ask me where things are
located but it did neither.

A few things:

1. Paraview install path is specified with CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX. The
installation path cannot be changed after compilation.
2. You should always use the VTK distributed with ParaView because a.
we branch VTK specially for each paraview release b. we build vtk
differently (special wrapping for example) in paraview

My max/min values have 4 place accuracy
max/min = 14.1402/13.3445
the display rounds these to 14.1 and 13.3. How does one increase the 
number of decimal places in the scalar bar?

I have time series data, I am using v 1.6.1. Is it possible to render 
the images offscreen so that my workstation is not blocked until all the 
images have been completed.
Hope my question is clear,

When I save images using v 1.6.1 the popup save window appears in the 
middle of my plot. If I don't move it outside of the plot before 
clicking "save" the window appears as part of the saved image. I can and 
do move outside of the image to be saved before clicking "save." When I 
save a other images I must repeat this time consuming process. Is there 
a way to maintain the position outside of the plot?

You could try setting up an offscreen display using e.g. vnc or xfrb. 
I've never tried this but it should work ok. Start up a vncserver and a 
vncviewer and start up paraview inside the vncserver. You can start the 
animation and close/minimize the vncviewer once it has started. You will 
need a recent vnc which supports GLX. It will use software rendering 
though so might be slow.

Hi Stephen,

On the Display tab where you turned on the scalar bar, there is a button 
called "Edit Color Map". When you click this button, a set of controls for 
the scalar bar is displayed. In that set of controls, there is an entry box 
called "Labels". The value in that entry box is a format specification (the 
same specification as used with printf()) for the numeric labels on the 
scalar bar. By default the specification ends with "3g", meaning that 3 
significant digits will be used for the labels. Changing this to "4g" 
should accomplish what you want.
