[Paraview-developers] xdmf and attribute type tensor6

[Jerry Clarke]

Jacob,

Tensor6 is supported. I just tried a simple example one triangle
example and was able to read it into ParaView.

The vtkXdmfReader is currently being re-written, so you'll need the
cvs version of ParaView (I beleive) to access it. It's in 
vtkXdmfReader2.[h cxx] (vtkXdmfReader.[h cxx] will be replaced with this 
one).
