[Paraview] [EXT] Re: How to test for empty block in multi-block dataset

[Andy Bauer]

Hi Dennis,

Maybe the block isn't a vtkDataSet and thus wouldn't have the GetCellType()
method. You could try a print statement after the for loop to see what each
block is by doing something like:
print block

Could you share your full python code for the programmable filter? That may
make it easier to track down.

Best,
Andy
