[Paraview] display thrid dimension of nc file

[Moreland, Kenneth]

The issue may or may not be related to the nan values.  It is certainly possible that something in ParaView is crashing when encountering a NaN.  Until recently, there was no support whatsoever for NaN, and there is still plenty of code on VTK/ParaView that was not written with NaN in mind and could conceivably crash.

That said, I just tried loading in a netCDF data set with NaN values then running extract surface and warp by scalars and it worked just fine.  Could you send the group an example data set?

Ok, I found a way now. I will post it here for the benefit of future readers.
I had to apply two filters to the data. First 'Extract Suface' and then ' Warp by Scalar'.

However, I encountered another problem now. While these filters worked fine on one file they made Paraview crash on another. The only difference between the two files as far as I can see is that the latter has holes in its z-dimensions indicated by 'nan'. is this a problem for paraview.

Ah, nice. It seems to change (disable) the visibility of the pipeline
objects though when switching from a 2D to 3D view.

(Sorry Xian, you're thread kind of got hijacked).
