[Paraview] vtkCellLocator: Python

[BastiL2001]

Thanks Andi,

I will do this. What I am planning to do is to create a scalr field with some distance information as an output.

Another issue: I want to loop oder a multi-block dataset with an iterator in a programmable filter (works) and find out the name of the currently visited block. Is that possible? Thanks.

Regards Bastian

Unfortunately some of the locator api is pass by reference and therefore not wrapped by python.  Bastian, let us know if you run into missing methods when trying to use the cell locator in python.
