Quad Mesh

[Richard Harris <rharris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

    I am trying to display a finite element mesh using inventor.
I have an array that defines all the coordinates of the mesh and an
array that defines the relationship between elements.   I have examined
using quad mesh, as the elements from the finite element code are
quads.  The problem I can't seem to decipher is; a typical finite
element code will display a unique color for every element. Often two or
more colors will be drawn in a single element.  Is there a way to create
a quad mesh or anything similar that will allow the color to be set on a
element by element basis?

Thanks,
Richard
