 I tried giving one, two and three... For all it is displaying same error...Am confused.. What should be the format of data that vtkGlyph3D accepts..??

Problem!!To: Rakesh Patil , vtkusers at vtk.orgSince it says wrong number of components for vector, try setting the number of components to 3.vecArr>SetNumberOfComponents(3); vecArr>InsertTuple3(i, velu(i), velv(i), 0);Maybe that might work?On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 10:34 PM, Rakesh Patilwrote: HI there..I got the following data in hand.. Mesh data is in one file and corresponding velocity vectors data in another file.. Mesh file format is as follows: NP NE // First line contains total number of points(NP) and total number of elements(NE)Lon, Lat, depth// From next line onwards NP number of point coordinate values are listed .........eleno,nd1,nd2, nd3// Index of node 1, 2 and 3 of triangles element
 s, for NE number of elements;.........Velocity vectors file contains data in the following format: timeinsecondspointno, u, v.........nexttimeinsecondspointno, u, v.........One timestep contains NP number of UV dataset. Now actually, i want to plot vector plot for this data .. I have used vtkGlyph3D class to do so,.. But all the arrows are being shown in the same direction.. Here goes the code:unsigned int numpts = x.size();vtkPoints *pts = vtkPoints::New();pts>SetNumberOfPoints(numpts);vtkDoubleArray *vecArr = vtkDoubleArray::New();vecArr>SetNumberOfComponents(2);vecArr>SetNumberOfTuples(numpts); for( unsigned int i=0; i < numpts; i++){ pts>InsertPoint(i, x(i), y(i), 0); vecArr>InsertTuple2(i, velu(i), velv(i));}unsigned int numcells = elem.rows(); // elem is a matrix that contains the index of nodes of elements in the mesh vtkCellArray *cellA = vtlCellArray::New();cellA>SetNumberOfCells(numcells);for (unsigned int i=0; i < numcells; i++){ cellA>InsertNextCell(3); cellA>Ins

 ra();When I run this code, it shows error saying that wrong number of components for setVetor(). What is the data it takes.??How do i achieve my goal..??Thanks in advanceRegardsRakesh Patil Dear vtkusers ! Get Yourself a cool, short @in.com Email ID now!
