Hello Chris,

odd. So not such much lines in between but rather that only 1/2 of the
sphere is shown and each sphere has some strange protrusion to the
origin.

With the data for the gallery example (see
https://zenodo.org/record/155394) I can visualize a sphere fine using
VisIt 3.1.0 on a Linux box.

Attached please find a snapshot. The data file and VisIt session file
(too big to attach) are here:

https://paste.c-net.org/HooperTawdry

Can you check that you can visualize those files?

Yours,
Roland
