Plotting: Black Cells

0 votes

Hey,

When I plot any function, I get these black cells. Black Cells

When i try plotting with paraview, i get the same black cells again. Plot in paraview

I am using Ubuntu 13.10 and installed the development version of dolfin. However, with another computer (Ubuntu 12.10), this problem does not occur.

I was wondering, if this has occured to anyone else and if there is a way of not showing these black cells.

This is not really a FEniCS question...

However, I had the same problem.
Fixed it by installing correct drivers for my GPU.

Thanks. That fixed the problem. Ya, I know it wasn't really a FEniCS question, but I was homing someone here faced the problem.

what drivers did you install? I have a nvidia card.

Then maybe you should try installing Nvidia drivers?
