[Paraview] Blanking Structured Grid With Image

[Bikash Agarwal]

Hi All,

I was wondering what blanking a structured grid with an image means?? Is it
something like draping an image on a structured grid??

Also, I tried to intergrate the vtkBlankStructuredGridWithImage class into
paraview but it is giving me the error below. The filter takes in two inputs
- an unstructured grid and the image to use for blanking(vtkImageData). From
the class reference I found that GetBlankingInput() is the method to get the
blanking image. I have also copied my .pvsm and .xml files here.

I think I am making a mistake in calling the multiple inputs. Can anyone
help me identify the error?

Thanks
