[Paraview] [Non-DoD Source] Questions about XMF - 3DCoRectMesh

[Burns, Andrew J CTR USARMY RDECOM ARL (US)]

Looking at the old error reports, it's an issue of differences in indexing in programming languages. I guess Paraview was initially designed with Fortran's output in mind?

	This is apparently a "very very old bug" [1] and pops up every now and
	then on this mailing-list. There was apparently a plan to fix this back
	in 2009 [2], but I'm doubtful that this was done.

		We noticed this also, I believe the plan is to remove the flipping of dimension ordering. However, I am unsure on when that will occur.

		Hi everbody,
		
		I have a stupid question about the XMF - 3DCoRectMesh...
		
		I tried to build an "extruded rectangle" using this function (I attached the files).
		
		I asked for a 6 by 16 by 46 elements as you can see in the XMF file...
		
		     <Topology TopologyType="3DCoRectMesh" Dimensions="7 17 47"/>
		     <Geometry GeometryType="ORIGIN_DXDYDZ">
		   <DataItem Name="origin" Format="XML" DataType="Float" Precision="8" Dimensions="3">
		             -0.6000000000
		             -1.6000000000
		             -4.6000000000
		
		but when I open in Paraview (4.3.1 and 5.1.2) I found a 46 by 16 by 6 elements...
		
		I tried also to look in: VTK/ThirdParty/xdmf3/vtkxdmf3/XdmfRegularGrid.cpp, but I didn't found the reason to Paraview "change" the X axis by the Z axis.
		
		Someone found the same thing? Or, where I made a mistake?
		
		Regards,
