[Paraview] VTK Data File Scalars Analysis

[Guillermo Giraldo]

Hi,

I'd like to know how Paraview analyses scalar data from a VTK data file.
Specially, how it extracts the components of a scalar and assigns names for
color plots. For example if numComp is 3 they are named "Magnitude, X, Y
and Z2, but if numComp is 6 they are named "Magnitude, XX, YY; ZZ, XY, XZ
and YZ". How is this determined?

Some questions I'd like to answer are: can this be done with only the VTK
library? If not, are there any other library that can do it (e.g. paraview
python)?

Pointing to the specific code file in the git repository should be enough,
but an explanation would be great!

Thanks in advance and greetings.
