[Kiwiviewer] Paraview to Kiwi (windows)

Wed May 21 05:25:08 EDT 2014

Dear Casey,

After some fiddling around, I've found a solution! After replacing the :
with _'s, the problem that remained was with the vtksmwriter not supporting
.vtp in paraview 4.1. In paraview 3.98.1 the script ran without problems.
Using .vtk files in paraview 4.1 seems to work however.
Finally, importing the .zip in kiwiviewer resulted in an error, due to the
entire folder being in the "filename" description in the .kiwi file, rather
than just: data/filename.vtp

Changing

        outFile = writeToFile(extractSurface, outFile)

to

        outfile = os.path.join(outDir, getSourceName(source) + '.vtk')
        writeToFile(extractSurface, outFile)

Fixed that issue as well. Thanks for your help on getting things working.
Attached is the resulting macro.

Kind regards, Roelant
