[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] why when contouring by density does a color plot of density show more than one color?

[Cook, Rich]

I did notice that.  It does not allow me to color by point density.  I don't think the values really vary by that much near the isosurface, but I might be wrong.

Rich,
The vast majority of the ParaView team is crazy busy at SC.  I.e. if you don’t get an answer by next week, ping again.

OK, thinking out loud here – you are contouring by the density at the points (nodes), but coloring by a subtly different variable – density at the cells (elements).  Since you should have it available (coming out of the cell to point filter), how about coloring by point density?  (You can tell by the cute cube in front of the density variable – points look like ... um ... points.)  That’s the only thing I can think of...

the attached is an image I made by creating a contour of the density variable resulting from the CellDatatoPointData filter on some Miranda data.  I colored by density.  Shouldn't it all be one color?
