I have a c++ library that I use, which outputs my data to be read in Paraview.

I have just upgraded Paraview to 5.10.ish and I think my c++ library has a different set of parameters.

I get this error that

```auto
(filters, GlyphLegacy) has been deprecated in ParaView 5.6 and will be removed by ParaView 5.7. 
        It has been replaced by 'GlyphWithCustomSource'. Please consider using that instead.

```

I have attached the complete list of errors when I load my `psvm` state file.

Any ideas what to do?

It’s a warning, the error is:

```auto
ERROR: In ./VTK/Common/Misc/vtkFunctionParser.cxx, line 1226

```

Please share the pvsm file

Thanks.

I am happy to learn, I have found the jumping off point for paraview elusive.

In your multiple “Calculators” filter, you need to add quotes around the field names.

eg:

`Cell orientation` → `"Cell orientation"`

Thank you for that. That helps.

Though when I load it on my M1, I get these errors.

No idea then, try using the calculator array name shortcut instead.
