Hi everyone, I am new to ParaView, so please feel free to refer to any related posts or responses. I am having trouble visualizing VTK files containing volumetric data for triclinic cells. During visualization, the triclinic box is converted to an orthorhombic box. I understand that this is possible because my dataset is of type STRUCTURED_POINTS, and that the issue can be resolved by converting the grid to an unstructured grid in ParaView. However, I am unable to find any resources that actually work! The header section of my VTK file is as follows:
You can convert to an Unstructured Grid by adding a “AppendDataSet” filter, but it looks exactly the same, so I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve here.
Hi Mathieu, thank you so much for your response! Yes, the image looks fine. However, if we look more closely, the box seems orthorombic, even though the original box is triclinic. We can see that from the very first line in the VTK file, where the cell parameters are specified as follows:
My question was how to correctly visualize the box in triclinic form, since ParaView automatically converts it to orthorhombic form. Please let me know if you need any more information! Thanks!
Thanks for your help! The original box looks like the following shape(rombohedral), where all the sides have equal lengths (35.8366 Å) and with 60^{\circ} angle between each of the two sides.
