[vtkusers] quadratic cell types

[John Platt]

Hi Ursula,

Try and use a version later than 4.5.0 - there have been some fixes
particularly for the quadratic solids. Contouring can also be
challenging. Also bear in mind that some of the filters reduce quadratic
cells to groups of linear cells, so if you show edges, you do not get
the outline of the original quadratic cell.

I have not used vtkExtractGeometry recently so I can't comment but help
is usually available.

John.

Dear all,

I do have some question regarding the cell types 22 and 24.
Are they fully supported by all routines in VTK?
Can I use them, for example, with vtkExtractGeometry?

I do have the feeling that some functions do not support
these cell types.


Ursula
