hello everyone, I am new to paraview. I want to use paraview to draw the subset plot.  
My data is organized in pvtu format, the parallel unstructured grid vtk data format.  
I want to draw each set using one color. This is usually used to demonstrate domain decomposition.  
I do not know how to implement that. Thanks for your time.
