Greetings,
I have generated a simple vtk file that contains a single polygon. The
file is shown below.
# vtk DataFile Version 2.0

DATASET UNSTRUCTURED_GRID

After loading the file in paraview, the surface of the polygon is not
displayed correctly. It seems that an additional triangle is displayed.
However, the wireframe is displayed correctly. I have checked the order
of points and confirmed that the order is correct. I also multiplied the
coordinates by 100 but the problem persists.
If I add the first point of the polygon again, the surface is displayed
correctly. The modified lines read:
CELLS 1 8
7 0 1 2 3 4 5 0
Unfortunately, that fix does not work for other polygons that show the
same problem.
Is there something wrong with my vtk file?
Greetings,
Martin
