[vtkusers] Can I use XDMF as a container for a set of vtkDataSets?

[Patricio Palma C.]

Hi Dave

I've modified the classes to use a multiblock dataset, however it' seems
there is something  wrong with the writer  since it crashes when Write()
method is called.

This is a part of the code:

class X {

// this are the member definition
vtkSmartPointer<vtkXdmfWriter> m_writer;
vtkSmartPointer<vtkMultiBlockDataSet> m_mds;
int m_index;
.

X::X() : m_writer(vtkSmartPointer<vtkXdmfWriter>::New()),
M_mds(vtkSmartPointer<vtkMultiBlockDataSet>::New()),
m_index(0) { }


void X::addData(vtkDataSet* data)
{
  m_mds->SetBlock(m_index++, data);
}

void X::finishAndWrite()
{
  m_writer->SetFileName("outputfile.xfm");
  m_writer->SetInputData(m_mds);
  m_writer->Write(); // the application crashes here
}

};

I pass each dataset with addData() and  at the end I call finishAndWrite().
I'm not sure what I am doing wrong.


Thanks
