[Paraview] Dataset name in a MultiBlock dataset and display of unstructured grid

[Paul Edwards]

Hi Zhigao,

If you are writing a reader or filter that returns a multi-block data set
you can name a block with the following:


MULTI_BLOCK_DATA_SET->GetMetaData(BLOCK_NUMBER)->Set(vtkCompositeDataSet::NAME(),
"PUT_NAME_HERE");

If you are just using ParaView you can use the "Extract Block" filter and
select the blocks you are interested in.   In the pipeline browser you can
change the name from "ExtractBlock1" to something more meaningful.

Regards,
Paul
