Hi,

I have been using Extractor to generate \*.pvtp sequence and bringing them into other packages for further visualisation and animation (purely geometry)

I see that Paraview in it’s view port uses vertex color for display and the color ramp can be selected by the user.

Is there a way (for a give color map selected by the user) to include the vertex color in the \*.vtp files exported by Extractor ?

Cheers

Not with extractors, you need to use File-\>ExportScene instead.
