I have tested with both *.nc and *.ncdf, with no luck on the netCDF reader showing up on the list. I generated the netCDF file using the netcdf4-python (<a href="http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/">http://code.google.com/p/netcdf4-python/</a>) interface, using the NETCDF4 and NETCDF3-CLASSIC filetypes. Both types show coherent output when using the netCDF viewer "ncdump." I checked the Paraview Dataset file to see if there were any netCDF files, and did not come across any. I did however see there were *.h5 (hdf5) files. The documentation states that these should have a viewer as well, but when I opened one of these files, I was presented with the same reader list as before, with no mention to an hdf5 reader.</div><div><br></div><div>Matthew</div><div><br><div><div>On Nov 12, 2009, at 1:22 PM, Moreland, Kenneth wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div>
<font face="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><span style="font-size:11pt">ParaView first uses extensions to determine file type. Files with extension .nc or .ncdf are assumed to be netCDF files. If you are using another extension it should still work so long as the extension does not conflict with any other extension used. If no file extension matches you should get a dialog box asking you what type of reader to use. If the file is detected as a valid netCDF file, it should show up in that list.<br>

into a problem though. I am trying to import netCDF volume data. I am <br>
able to import the file using the raw binary filter, which works quite <br>
well, however, when I try to import a netCDF file with compressed <br>
variables, this approach does not work. Glancing through the <br>
documentation, it appears that the is a netCDF reader built in, <br>
however it doesn't look like my file is being associated with the <br>
netCDF reader when opening. A little about my setup: Mac OS X 10.6.1, <br>
Paraview 3.6.1 binary, netCDF 4.0.1. Any help on this would be really <br>
appreciated. Thanks!<br>
