The contour filter does not work with cell data because a contour is a bit ill defined for cell data (which has no explicit interpolation of data). You will have to convert to point data somehow before the contour filter will work.<BR>

<BR>
I'm trying to visualize a *.vti file containing some CellData and I get the usual:<BR>
"Cannot volume render since no point (or cell)data available." which is incorrect.<BR>
Furthermore, it seems that contouring is also disabled with CellData. <BR>
<BR>
Is there a way to perform Volume and Contour visualization in that case?<BR>
If not, will this option be available in the next release?<BR>
<BR>
Many thanks in advance for your help.<BR>
