[vtkusers] Quickest way to count number of points in cell Paraview

[Shawn Waldon]

Hi Amine,

I don't know of a way to do it with existing filters.  The easiest way to
create an example is using Python, but you should be able to translate it
to C++ if you want and create a custom filter to do this (The execute
method in the script becomes RequestData on a vtkPassInputTypeAlgorithm if
you go this route).  Attached is a script that uses Python via the
programmable filter.  You can find more information about the programmable
filter here[1]  (I modified the script at the start of that blog post to
append the number of points in the cell instead of the example array in my
attached script.  You may want to adapt it further after reading the blog
post).

HTH,

Shawn
