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.

	Hello,

	I would like to color the data based on the size of the mesh cell. Is there
	away to do it in ParaView? In the coloring pull down selection, I can only
	find the variables in the dataset. If I have to compute the size of the mesh
	cell to create a new variable, how would it be done?

	Thanks
