Smoothed sub-menu with gaussian results:
Results can be located on the nodes of the mesh, nodal results, or on the integration points defined on the elements, known as gauss points, gaussian results.
For instance, selecting a contour fill visualization of a nodal result will draw a continous colour continuous color map over the mesh geometry. But for results located at the gauss points, there is no guarantee that the values are continous continuous between elements; in fact they are usually discontinousdiscontinuous. So, visualizing a Contour fill of a gaussian result will display a discontinuous colour color map over the mesh:

Most of the above results visualization can be performed over nodal and gaussian results. Currently the exceptions are: Contour text ranges, Stream lines, node trace, graphs, and deformations.
GiD also smoothes smooth the gaussian results to provide a continous colour continuous color map:
