[Paraview] [newbie] show grid in paraview - wireframe shows triangles instead of quads...

[newsboost]

Dear all,

Ok - my problem was/is related to a 20-node element - please see this 
simple vtk-file and then change to "wireframe" and *pplease* tell me why 
I cannot see the true grid/mesh, but these annoying triangles that make 
up the element...

Please advice (somebody more clever than me) and perhaps suggest a 
solution so I can see the true mesh/grid for a 20-node element like I 
uploaded! :-)
