[vtkusers] XML format help

[Randy Heiland]

While I go off to look at the code, perhaps a VTK/XML guru could answer my
question...

Trying to follow the XML format described in the VTK file format .pdf, I've
created a simple RectGrid XML file (below) and when I try to read it using:

reader = vtkXMLRectilinearGridReader()
reader.DebugOn()
reader.SetFileName("test1.vtr")
#reader.UpdateWholeExtent()
reader.Update()


I get the error:

ERROR: In /home/heiland/vtk_Dec17.02/VTK/IO/vtkXMLStructuredDataReader.cxx,
line 71
vtkXMLRectilinearGridReader (0x824f4b0): RectilinearGrid element has no
WholeExtent.
