Run [http://www.paraview.org ParaView] software (description for version 4.0.1). Open downloaded *.wrl and *.vtk files. Click the ''Apply'' button (in the tab ''Properties'').

[[Screenshot(17,width=400,height=300,description=$description,align=center,format=png)]]

In the ''Properties'' tab set ''Styling: Opacity'' to 0.1 for ''scene_grey.wrl'' model. For every ''scene_SSp_bfd*.wrl'' model
set ''Styling: Opacity'' to 0.3, then change ''Coloring'' from ''VRMLColor'' to ''Solid Color''. Click ''Coloring: Edit'' and select color to:
- Red = 250, Green: 245, Blue: 255 for ''scene_SSp_bfd1.wrl'',
- Red = 153, Green: 163, Blue: 255 for ''scene_SSp_bfd2Slash3.wrl'',
- Red = 74, Green: 77, Blue: 128 for ''scene_SSp_bfd4.wrl'',
- Red = 171, Green: 177, Blue: 255 for ''scene_SSp_bfd5.wrl'',
- Red = 145, Green: 149, Blue: 213 for ''scene_SSp_bfd6a.wrl'',
- Red = 177, Green: 170, Blue: 255 for ''scene_SSp_bfd6b.wrl''.

[[Screenshot(18,width=400,height=300,description=$description,align=center,format=png)]]

Click ''Coloring: Edit'' for the ''framedata0051.vtk'' model (ensure that ''Coloring'' is set to ''voltage''). Click the "Gear" icon to edit ''Color Scale''. Set ''Color Space'' to ''CIELAB''; set the left color point to Red = 59, Green = 76 and Blue = 192 and the right to Red = 255, Green = 255 and Blue = 0. Add two color points: at ''Color Scalar Value'' = -40 (Red = 150, Green = 150 and Blue = 0) and at ''Color Scalar Value'' = 18 (Red = 190, Green = 35 and Blue = 21). Click the ''Apply'' button, then close the ''Color Scale Editor'' window.
