Hello,

I would like to visualize RGB data files in parallel using the .pvtk 
format.  Sample files:

"colortest.pvtk"
<File version="pvtk-1.0" dataType="vtkImageData" numberOfPieces="4" 
origin="0 0 0" spacing="1 1 1" wholeExtent="0 99 0 99 0 0" >
     <Piece extent="0 49 0 49 0 0" Source="data-colortest/colortest-0.vtk"/>
     <Piece extent="0 49 50 99 0 0" Source="data-colortest/colortest-1.vtk"/>
     <Piece extent="50 99 0 49 0 0" Source="data-colortest/colortest-2.vtk"/>
     <Piece extent="50 99 50 99 0 0" Source="data-colortest/colortest-3.vtk"/>
</File>

"data-colortest/colortest-0.vtk" (1/4 of the 100x100 grid)
# vtk DataFile Version 2.0
comment
BINARY
DATASET STRUCTURED_POINTS
DIMENSIONS 50 50 1
ORIGIN 0 0 0
SPACING 1 1 1
POINT_DATA 2500
COLOR_SCALARS color_data 3
(...unsigned char data ....)

Paraview does not have any problems with the *.vtk files.  The .pvtk file
throws the following error:

ERROR: In /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/ParaView3.2.3/VTK/Parallel/vtkPDataSetReader.cxx, 
line 1410
vtkPDataSetReader (0x945b080): Incomplete coverage.

I have tried manipulating the global and piece extents, but nothing seems 
to work.  Any suggestions?

Thanks.
