[Paraview] Visualize equdistant cell-centered data

[Buesing, Henrik]

Dear Cory,

Thank you very much for your reply! I think, then I will build the new grid in my application already. With this I do not need to go through complicated post-processing steps.

Thank you!
Henrik

Henrik,

I believe I understand what you are trying to do. However, there is nothing available in ParaView to do this simply.

You could use the Programmable Filter to create a new structured grid with the C+1 number of points in each dimension and then set the point data array in the C-sized grid to be a cell data array in the (C+1)-sized grid. The data layout is such that that should work. However, you will need to set up the points manually.

Hope that helps,
Cory

Ok. Let me rephrase my question. Maybe someone speaks Matlab? Full Matlab Code below (see [1]).

Let’s assume I have a 2x2 matrix with color values C=[1 2; 3 4]. Now I can visualize this matrix with on a 2x2 grid with surf in Matlab. What I get is one square with the color values on each node (see Case 1 in the Matlab code). This is what Paraview does!

What I want is the following: I define a new grid, which is 3x3. So one value more in each direction than I have color values. On this grid the color values live cell-centered. If I now visualize this in Matlab, I get a 2x2 block matrix with color values from 1-4. This is what I want!

To sum up: I want to keep my color values, but I want to define a new cell-centered grid (with size(C,1)+1) where these color values live on. Is this somehow possible in Paraview?

Thank you!
Henrik

% Full Matlab Code to visualize the two cases.

C = [1 2; 3 4];

% Case 1
x=linspace(0,1,size(C,1));
y=x;
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
Z=zeros(size(C));
figure;surf(X,Y,Z,C);shading interp;view(0,90);
colorbar

% Case 2
x=linspace(0,1,size(C,1)+1);
y=x;
[X,Y]=meshgrid(x,y);
Z=zeros(size(C)+1);
figure;surf(X,Y,Z,C);shading flat;view(0,90);
colorbar

Betreff: [Paraview] Visualize equdistant cell-centered data

Dear all,

I have a “Structured (Curvilinear) Grid” (*.vts), which gets read in as 314531 cells and 330000 points. I would like to tell Paraview that this is equidistant cell-centered data (330000 cells). I want every cell to get one color, such that color interpolation becomes correct.

Can I somehow convert the data I have?

Thank you!
Henrik Büsing
