Hello,
I am trying to get the CSCS vtkNetCDF reader to work with paraview 2.6.1. I
downloaded the package from the web and followed the instructions on the web
site. In particular I made the recommended changes in cmake. The code compiled
but I have no netcdf reader in the list of readers and still have no way to
read
netcdf files. I also get an error when paraview starts up that says:
vtkPVXMLPackageParser ( string o stuff ): Ignoring unknown top-level
element Reader
I assume that somewhere paraview is reading the file,
CSCS_NetCDF_Client.xml file
that contains:
<ParaViewReaders>
<Readers name="netCDF"
extensions="nc cdf"
file_descriptions="netCDF">
</Readers>
</ParaViewReaders>
I am obviously missing something here. I also posted this question to the
vtkNetCDF
mailing list with no reply. Has anyone been able to use this module? If so,
could you
let me know what I am doing wrong or what step I have left out.
The sick bit is I have written readers for paraview myself, but have lost
the code and
cant recall where all the bodies are. By the way I have also had a look at
the info on
the wiki which is helpful but my brain cant map the instructions there to
the files I
have on hand.
One last thing.. The vtk 5.0 docs online list a vtknetcdf reader. Is that
reader the same
one from the Swiss National Computing Center
http://www.cscs.ch/a-display.php?id=1168
If it is I am wasting my time trying to install the Swiss one. :)
Thanks,
