[Paraview] Data in spherical harmonics

[leo paul]

hi,
Thank you. I get the idea now. But I have one more doubt- is it possible to
read in data in the form of spherical harmonic coefficients for the same? I
have a variable for which I have the spherical harmonic transforms. Can I
read it in without converting it into real space?
