Hi David

Thanks for this. I wrote some code along these lines earlier but when I
opened it in Paraview, I get,
"Cannot volume render since no point (or cell) data is available." So, I
assumed it was not correctly converted.

I also get the same result/error message with the code at the above link you
sent.

This is why I'm tearing my hair out. I'd be very grateful if a solution can
be found.

Theodore
