<FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>It sounds like you are reading in an array with 0 or 1 dimensions (not including time). Although the reader should happily create an image data of that structure, the standard rendering views only understand image data of 2 or 3 dimensions. Hence you get the error.<BR>
<BR>
If you want to see the data in a plot, try adding the “Plot Data” filter.<BR>

Hi,<BR>
<BR>
I am trying to read in a netCDF file using Paraview 3.6.2. It can 'see' the netCDF file, but when I attempt to read in the file by pressing 'Apply', I get the following error message: <BR>
<BR>
ERROR: In /home/kitware/ParaView3/Utilities/BuildScripts/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3/Servers/Filters/vtkTexturePainter.cxx, line 280<BR>
vtkTexturePainter (0xb8a0000): Incorrect dimensionality.<BR>
<BR>
I'm not sure which netCDF release created the netCDF file. However, I read in a previous post that paraview 3.6.1 could handle netCDF 4, and since "all netCDF files ever written can always be read by the latest netCDF release. That is, we guarantee backward data compatibility" then 3.6.2 should be able to handle my netCDF file (which wasn't created too recently).<BR>
<BR>
I can read the netCDF file into MATLAB, so it isn't corrupt.<BR>
<BR>
So what's the problem?<BR>
<BR>
thanks<BR>
Joel <BR>
