[Paraview] Error in Reader Example

[James Furness]

Hi,

I am attempting to write a reader and have been following the example at: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Examples/Plugins/Reader for reference. However it seems not to work. I have copy-pasted the contents into the various files and run ccmake in the directory to produce a make file. Attempting to build this does not compile and fails with the following error:

MyReader.cxx:43:45: error: no member
      named 'GetProducerPort' in 'vtkPolyData'
  glyphFilter->SetInputConnection(polydata->GetProducerPort());

Looking at the vtk class help pages (http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkPolyData.html) it seems there is not method ‘GetProducerPort()’ in the class vtkPolyData.

Have things changed since the example was written? How should I proceed with this?

And are there any better guides for writing a custom reader. The documentation is sparse and quite unclear.

Many thanks,
James
