    Dear Magician,<br>
    <br>
    Here is a precise algorithm I follow to:<br>
    <br>
    1. Read the data (I usually do that in terminal: paraview test.vts)
    (test.vts is attached)<br>
    2. Sources -> Plane (Origin: 0 0 0, Point1: 4 0 0, Point2: 0 2 0,
    X Resolution: 200, Y Resolution: 100)<br>
    3. Filters -> Resample With Dataset -> (Available input ports:
    Source; Select Input: Plane1) (test.pvsm is attached)<br>
       (After applying this filter I get nothing)<br>
    4. Repeating step 3 with exactly the same parameters (if I remember
    correctly) gave me the desired result once. But now it doesn't.
    Nevertheless test2.pvsm, corresponding to the state after doing
    this, is attached.<br>
    <br>
    Thank you for your help!<br>
    <br>
    Best regards,<br>
    Mikhail<br>

              <br>
              Thank you for the explanation and for the hint!<br>
              The only issue is that the last step of your algorithm<br>
                3. apply Resample With Dataset filter,<br>
              not always gives the desired result.<br>
              I was able to get the same representation like you showed,
              but<br>
              it was an accidental choice of several Resample With
              Dataset filters,<br>
              and I couldn't repeat it again. My impression is that I
              have to apply<br>
              this filter several times to different sources. Am I
              right?<br>
              <br>
              Thank you.<br>

                <div>Yes, that’s because of the triangulation (or

                <div>Most of the 3D programs including ParaView draw

                <div>Even though you read your data as structured grid

                    The visual representation of this field, however,
                    doesn't look symmetric <br>

                    in my understanding of visualization technique, or
                    in a way I pass the <br>
