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

[newsboost]

Ok - I think I know what the problem is...

Anyone with ATI graphics card here who can reproduce my problem? I'm 
pretty sure that if you have an ATI graphics card, you'll have the same 
problem as me...

I guess whoever the vtk-file works for, is using NVIDIA graphics cards 
(or something other than ATI) - am I right, Utkarsh?

So I'm completely sure the problem is related to the graphics card 
drivers. Can somebody here confirm my theory?
