[Paraview] coloring the simulation data based on the size of the mesh cell (UNCLASSIFIED)

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Simon,

You can use the Python calculator:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Python_Calculator

You need an expression like:

area(inputs[0])

or

volume(inputs[0])

Be careful, area and volume are not super accurate for 2nd order or higher
cells currently.
