Hi <br><br>Thanks so much for your responses!<br><br>I will try vtkParticleReader first since I've never actually used ParaView. <br><br>From the posts I have been reading, it seems that vtkParticleReader only takes in binary format data, is this right? In this case the input file would have a format of: x1 y1 z1 x2 y2 z2 x3 y3 z3... but in binary, correct? <br><br>Also, in order to colour code each point, I would like to assign scalar values, however this is usually done on derivatives of the class vtkDataSet, vtkParticleReader only has an output that is a vtkDataSet, is it still possible to "SetScalars"?<br><br>For example:<br><br>ParticleReaderObject->GetOutput()->GetPointData()->SetScalars( FloatArrayObject )<br><br>Thank-you kindly and best regards,<br><br>-PB<br><br><blockquote>Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2007 12:28:50 +1000<br>From: andrew.amaclean@gmail.com<br>To: lost_bits1110@hotmail.com<br>Subject: Re: [vtkusers] visualizing scattering of random points<br>CC: vtkusers@vtk.org<br><br><div>Use vtkParticleReader</div>

<div>Hi experts,<br><br>I need to visualize a random scattering of points (unstructured), and then colour code them according to their associated scalar values.<br><br>It seems that the only way to visualize unstructured points is to somehow create a surface out of them, whether by delaunay triangulation or splatting.
<br><br>Is there a way to just view the points as is? <br><br>Thank-you kindly and best regards<br><br>PB<br><br>
