Manochehr,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>ParaView always renders in a Cartesian space. So if you want the lat/lon/depth values to look like a sphere, the coordinates have to be converted and you will loose the original values. I can see the point of your use case. It just never came up before.
It seems reasonable to be able to save the original lat/lon values in a field, so I raised a bug for it.</div>

<div><br>
</div>
<div>As far as getting the coordinates in a script, it is possible but not recommended. If you need to access field or coordinate values directly, it is usually best to do so in a programmable filter.</div>

<div class="">I think what you want is not possible right now but let us get back to you on it as something we might want to look into before we can say it for sure. One workaround would be you load the data (uncheck the sphere coordinate system), apply the
filter, and then write the data back as NetCDF. It is not ideal by any means. You can also look into vtkSphericalTransform (if you want to convert data back to spherical coordinate system) but you will not get the exact shape of earth which is a ellipsoid
(which I am not sure if you would be interested in anyways). </div>

<div class="">Hope this helps. </div>

If you uncheck the “Spherical Coordiantes” option, then the longitude, latitude, and depth values will be preserved as x, y, and z coordinates. (Instead of translated to a sphere, the data will appear in a rectangle.)<br class="">

Hello,<br class="">
<br class="">
I am trying to see if I can visualize my netCDF Earth models (longitude, latitude,depth) using ParaView. I have been able to load the models, with the "Spherical Coordinates" option selected. However it appears that I now lose my coordinates and depth values
and as a result to extract a subset, I have to use the depth index (not the actual depth value). Is there a way to preserve the latitude, longitude and depth values and work with ParaView using the actual values (not their index) directly?<br class="">
<br class="">
Thank you,<br class="">
