Cubic Line Cell not showing in Paraview?

Hey.

I'm trying to get a cubic line cell (ID = 35) to show up in Paraview. Its not CFD related but I'm sure someone here could help me out.

Here is the VTK file ... it just wont show up! I dont get an error message or anything. Any ideas?

Edit: Sorry guys, I should have posted this in the general Paraview fourm.

Gee, figured it out :/

For anyone reading this with the same problem, you need a tessellate filter to render the cubic line correctly.

This didn't occur to me at first because a QuadraticEdge cell renders (as two straight lines) without the need for a tessellate filter.

Hope that helps someone.
