[CIG-LONG] 3-D Visualization on ParaView

[Jean Liu]

Hello!

My name is Jean Liu; I'm a student from the University of Toronto, and  
I'm having problems visualizing the Cookbook demos in 3-D using  
Paraview. I'm working on Windows Vista.

I changed the dim parameter, as described in the User's Manual, but  
when I plot the output on Paraview, all I get is a hollow box, and all  
of the fields vectors shown in the Information tab of the Object  
Inspector on Paraview are 2-D. Do you know what might be the problem?

Also, when I tried to run the "Geologic Example" in the Gale User's  
Manual, I downloaded the ascii_topo file from the geodynamics.org  
site, but I don't know where I should put it, in order for tibet3D.xml  
to see it. In the manual, it said that the location is hard-coded in  
src/StGermain/Discretisation/Mesh/src/SurfaceAdaptor.c

But, what exactly does that mean? Where can I find the source code  
(where is the directory containing it?) How/where can I see the  
location of where ascii_topo should be?

Thank you so much for your time!
