[Paraview] Paraview 3.6.1 and netCDF 4

[Matthew Dillon]

Ken,

Thanks for the reply. I have tested with both *.nc and *.ncdf, with no  
luck on the netCDF reader showing up on the list. I generated the  
netCDF file using the netcdf4-python (http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/ 
) interface, using the NETCDF4 and NETCDF3-CLASSIC filetypes. Both  
types show coherent output when using the netCDF viewer "ncdump." I  
checked the Paraview Dataset file to see if there were any netCDF  
files, and did not come across any. I did however see there were *.h5  
(hdf5) files. The documentation states that these should have a viewer  
as well, but when I opened one of these files, I was presented with  
the same reader list as before, with no mention to an hdf5 reader.
