[Paraview-developers] VTK data types representation

[Scott, W Alan]

Utkarsh,
I have been looking at initial representations for different data types, and have been looking at file pqPipelineRepresentation.cxx, function pqPipelineRepresentation::setDefaultPropertyValues().  At present the only dataset types that start being displayed as Surface are VTK_POLY_DATA, VTK_HYPER_OCTREE, VTK_GENERIC_DATA_SET, and 2d VTK_RECTILINEAR_GRID or VTK_STRUCTURED_GRID.  I would contend that we really want everything to start as a Surface, such as VTK_POLY_DATA, VTK_STRUCTURED_POINTS, VTK_STRUCTURED_GRID, VTK_RECTILINEAR_GRID, VTK_UNSTRUCTURED_GRID, VTK_PIECEWISE_FUNCTION, VTK_IMAGE_DATA (3D), VTK_DATA_OBJECT, VTK_DATA_SET, VTK_POINT_SET, VTK_UNIFORM_GRID, VTK_COMPOSITE_DATA_SET, VTK_MULTIGROUP_DATA_SET, VTK_MULTIBLOCK_DATA_SET, VTK_HIERARCHICAL_DATA_SET, VTK_HIERARCHICAL_BOX_DATA_SET, and VTK_GENERIC_DATA_SET

The reason this is coming up is that Wavelet always starts as Outline, as does all CTH AMR data.  I had thought that it was due to the dataset's size, but it is actually be design for these datatypes.  Thoughts?

I would make the mods myself, but don't really understand all of the VTK data objects.  Thus, I am thinking one of you guys should look at this.  These are found in vtkType.h.

Let me know what you think, and if you want me to do anything.  Thanks,

Alan
