[Paraview] urgent xdmf

[Jerome Soumagne]

Xdmf is a standalone library providing vtk readers and writers which are 
also integrated in Paraview. I don't know exactly what you want to do 
but if you generate hdf files already, you have to write an xdmf xml 
file by hand (or using like in the example a program/script generating 
text) describing your hdf structure so that you can then read it from 
Paraview or from another vis software using a vtkXdmfReader. In this 
case, I don't see why you would have to compile Xdmf by yourself since 
it's already included in Paraview/Visit.
If you have your own app though, use the vtkXdmfReader, include the 
necessary header files for using the vtkXdmfReader, link to the Xdmf 
library and that's it. There is no gcc/mpicc wrapper to compile programs 
using Xdmf like hdf5 does with h5pcc.

About something to generate xdmf files from hdf, we're currently working 
on something to help this.

I hope this helps you a bit.
