I have long thought of creating a C++ wrapper of Viper. It should be possible, with passing just NumPy arrays of coordinates, connectivities and data, from DOLFIN to Viper. But I have never got my but around to code it up. To put it clear, it is not one of my highest priorities...
Have you tried letting Viper read parallel vtk files, or would it still be a problem to call Viper using system? Does xterm work on Mac, and Linux, but not on Windos? Maybe you can "fix" it using xterm and then dissable parallel C++ plotting on Windows? Johan On Wednesday June 1 2011 07:59:28 Anders Logg wrote: > I tried to work around this bug but without luck.
