I have a pipeline for displaying structured zones within a GUI.
These zone's have multiple grid refinement levels or sequences. The
beginning of the pipeline is a source which creates a
vtkStructuredGrid.<br>
<br>
When I interactively change the sequence level the source gets a
call to update the pipeline where I need to change the
vtkStructuredGrid to represent a different sequence level (so my
grid grid dimensions will double or halve, for example)<br>
<br>
This process worked (by accident perhaps) in versions of VTK prior
to 6.<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>

<div>The very short (and annoying) answer is that VTK does not
currently support varying WHOLE_EXTENT().</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>However, there are ways of getting around this. But before
I get into those, can you describe how/where you change the
whole extent? As part of a time update? By setting some data
member on the reader?</div>

having difficulty porting some code from VTK 5 to 6.<br>
<br>
I have a custom algorithm for creating a vtkStructuredGrid
as the source for my pipeline, so my class inherits
vtkStructuredGridAlgorithm<br>
<br>
my pipeline simply connects the vtkStructuredGridAlgorithm
to a vtkGeometryFilter which is mapped with a
vtkPolyDataMapper<br>
<br>
I want my source to correctly render a structured grid which
changes dimensions dynamically within my application.<br>
<br>
My problem is that if I originally set up the grid with say
extents of 0 --99, 0-->99, 0-->99, and then change
the extents to 0--49, 0-49,0-49 through a call to Update,
then I get a VTK error message from<br>
<br>
<br>
ERROR: In
VTK-6.2.0/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx,
line 860<br>
vtkCompositeDataPipeline (0xb4561f0): The update extent
specified in the information for output port 0 on algorithm
SurfaceSNodeSource(0xb455750) is 0 80 0 32 0 0, which is
outside the whole extent 0 40 0 16 0 0.<br>
(This is in VerifyOutputInformation) called before the
RequestUpdateExtent for my algorithm.<br>
<br>
I don't quite understand the propagation of the
UPDATE_EXTENT information up the pipeline, but if I set the
UPDATE_EXTENT to WHOLE_EXTENT<br>
<br>
in vtkGeometryFilter::RequestUpdateExtent<br>
<br>
then the error goes away.<br>
Also, at the time of calling
vtkGeometryFilter::RequestUpdateExtent, the UPDATE_EXTENT is
still set at the old value, while the WHOLE_EXTENT has been
correctly updated/propagated from upstream.<br>
<br>
Is this a bug, or do I need to change something in my
vtkStructuredGridAlgorithm to cause the UPDATE_EXTENT to be
reset at the origin downstream?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
