Hi Christophe,<BR>
<BR>
I tried your suggestion. It gave a graph al right, but not what I had expected. I gave the following dummy ".pos" file<BR>
<BR>
View "a scalar map" {<BR>
ST(0.0,0.0,0.0,10.0,0.0,0.0,0.0,10.0,0.0){10.0,10.0,10.0};<BR>
};<BR>
<BR>
this is stored in the file test.pos attached below.<BR>
Here a scalar triangle is defined with coordinates (0.0,0.0,0.0),(10.0,0.0,0.0) and (0.0,10.0,0.0). A plot of it is shown in Screen-1.jpg. Then I "cut grid" with the following i/p (Screen-2.jpg)<BR>
<BR>
x0=0.0<BR>
y0=0.0<BR>
z0=0.0<BR>
<BR>
x1=10.0<BR>
y1=0.0<BR>
z1=0.0<BR>
<BR>
x2=0.0<BR>
y2=10.0<BR>
z2=0.0<BR>
<BR>
ConnectPoints=0<BR>
<BR>
and then i set "2D space plot". The output is in file Screen-3.jpg. I expected a straight horizontal line, certainly not what I ultimately obtained.<BR>
<BR>
Did I do something wrong anywhere?<BR>
<BR>
Please advise,<BR>
<BR>
Thanking you,<BR>
