[Paraview] Using vtkFileSeriesReader with vtkSpyPlotReader

[Moreland, Kenneth]

I've never used the file series reader outside of ParaView proxies, but I'm guessing you need to set the FileNameMethod ivar.

restartedReader->SetFileNameMethod("SetFileName");

might do the trick.

Hi Robert,

Thank you for the response. I can read in individual files. But I have a sample data set which has a text file named sample.spct-timeseries. When I give that file to SpyPlotReader, it doesn't recognize and when I ran Paraview through the debugger while opening that file it instantiated a vtkFileSeriesReader. This is now the source of my confustion.

Thank you,
Andrey Andreyev

Hi,

The SpyPlotReader already handle file series. The file extension just need to be a numeric value ie, spcth-a.0,spcth-a.1,spcth-a.2 while the name of the file start with spct.

Hi,

I'm trying to read in a restarted CTH Data set using vtkSpyPlotReader with vtkFileSeriesReader. But I cannot figure out how to transfer the information from the meta file (*.spcth-timeseries) to the spyplot reader.

a section of my code:

vtkFileSeriesReader* restartReader=vtkFileSeriesReader::New();
vtkSpyPlotReader* cthReader=vtkSpyPlotReader::New();
vtkDummyController* controller=vtkDummyController::New();
cthReader->SetGlobalController(controller);

restartReader->UseMetaFileOn();
restartReader->SetMetaFileName(filename.c_str());

restartReader->SetReader(cthReader);

But the spyplot reader doesn't have the information it needs; so it will not let me update the pipeline.

Any suggestions? Thank you in advance.
