[Paraview] [EXT] Re: How to detect element type inside Programmable Filter

[David E DeMarle]

Shell means locally 2D and Truss means locally 3D?

def process_block(block):

    #print dir(block)

    #print dir(block.VTKObject)

    print block.VTKObject.GetClassName()

    for x in range(0,block.GetNumberOfCells()):

        #print dir(block.GetCell(x))

        print x, block.GetCellType(x)


for block in output:

    process_block(block)

The printed cell types correspond to:
  http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/vtkCellType_8h_source.html
There is probably a macro somewhere to get a GetCellTypeAsString() but easy
enough to do in the filter.
