there any mechanism for using streaming features on data not derived
from the Parallel VTK XML structures? I'm using alot of simple
JPG/BMP datasets, and alot of older Legacy VTK datasets, but would be
happy to hear of a generic solutions, something like a
vtkDataSetToStreamingDataSet filter :).<br><br>-- <br>Randall Hand<br><a href="http://www.yeraze.com">http://www.yeraze.com</a>
