[Paraview] Use existing texture map for 3D surface

[Eric E. Monson]

Hey Christian,

If your data already has valid texture coordinates, highlight your surface in the Pipeline Browser. You should be able to go to the Display tab of the Object Inspector and in the Color section there is an Apply Texture combo box that should not be grayed-out if everything is ready for texturing. If you pull down to Load... it will let you load your texture image and you should see it on your surface.

Let us know if you have problems,
-Eric
