[Paraview] netCDF support in Paraview

[Moreland, Kenneth]

ParaView 3.6.1 comes with a netCDF reader.  You should be able to just select a netCDF file and it will load (with caveats about netCDF being more of an IO level than a format and the ParaView reader will make assumptions).  ParaView will expect the extension to be .ncdf or .nc, but any extension should work so long as it does not conflict with the extensions of other readers (that are not smart enough to determine their own file format).

Hi,

I have been trying to get netCDF support to work with paraview 3.6.1

There is a previous thread on the subject, which I find a bit confusing.

http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2009-March/011585.html

Initially I tried to build as plugins, but cmake gave the warning that
plugins have been disabled, and shared libraries should be used when I
tryed that.

I downloaded the svn source given in the thread above
(https://svn.cscs.ch/vtkContrib/trunk/vtkCSCS/) then tried to build a
shared library adding
CSCSCommon;CSCSNetCDF to PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULE.

This then fails to build with the error :

vtkMultiBlockUnstructuredSurface.cpp:41:32: error:
vtkModifiedBSPTree.h: No such file or directory

Any suggestions welcome

Jon
