Hi, I’m new to ParaView.

I am currently using Windows 10 OS and was trying out the can.ex2 example when i encountered some rendering issues, would like to seek advice.

However, once I have checked Data Variable and click ‘Apply’, ParaView is not able to display any more:

This happen when I use the Volume view too.

Would appreciate any help!

Thanks for replying.

I can technically still interact with the ParaView buttons, though I can’t really see what I’m actually doing…
