[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] problem using CSV table as input

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Einat,

I think the problem is partially an issue with the old version of ParaView you are using and partially that you are missing a line in your csv file.

If you load your csv file in ParaView 4.4.0 and then run "table to structured grid" you get the error, "The input table must have exactly 100 rows. Currently it has 99 rows." Looking more closely at the csv file, it is missing the last line, which should be "1,0.4,0.01,17". If you add that line to the csv file, table to structured grid runs just fine. (At least it runs fine on ParaView 4.4.0. I don't have a version that old handy to try it on.) See the attached screenshot.

I suspect that your old version of ParaView is crashing because it is not detecting that your table is too short and this problem was fixed in later versions.

Mind trying a newer version of ParaView?  4.0.1 is a few years old.

Thanks,

Alan

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] problem using CSV table as input

Hello all!

I am trying to load a CSV file and convert it to a structured grid plot. It is a very small table, with one attribute per point. I have no problem converting it to points using the "table to points" filter, However, Paraview crashes as soon as I try to run the "table to structured grid" filter. Just before Paraview crashes, it gives the following error message:

ERROR: In /Users/kitware/Dashboards/MyTests/NightlyMaster/ParaViewSuperbuild-Release/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Common/ExecutionModel/vtkExecutive.cxx, line 754

The CSV table is attached below. Running on a MacbookPro (Yosemite). Paraview version 4.0.1.

All the best,
