Hi,

I try to write a VTK compressed file (uncompressed works fine), but I have the following error when I open it in Paraview:

ERROR: In /build/buildd/paraview-3.2.2/VTK/IO/vtkXMLDataParser.cxx, line 434 vtkXMLDataParser (0xa02c998): Error reading beginning of compression header. Read 0 of 12 bytes.

ERROR: In /build/buildd/paraview-3.2.2/VTK/IO/vtkXMLUnstructuredDataReader.cxx, line 515 vtkXMLUnstructuredGridReader (0xa030228): Cannot read points array from Points in piece 0. The data array in the element may be too short.


I don't understand what is wrong. I followed instructions from (http://www.vtkedge.org/Wiki/VTK_XML_Formats), using only one block at the moment. I read the header with GHex and it seems OK. The critical part of the code is (zlib_compress is a function I implemented to compress the buffer). :

#ifdef HAVE_ZLIB
   if (compression_level!=0){
       unsigned int header[4];
       header[0]=1;
       header[1]=data_size;
       header[2]=0;
       header[3] = ((int)(data_size*1.002))+13;
       unsigned char *compressed_sol = (unsigned char*)malloc (header[3]);
zlib_compress((unsigned char*)buffer_sol.str().c_str(),compressed_sol,data_size,&header[3],compression_level);
       fstream_sol.write((char *)header,4*sizeof(unsigned int));
       fstream_sol.write((char*)compressed_sol,header[3]);
       free(compressed_sol);
   }else
#endif
   {
       fstream_sol.write((char *)(&data_size),sizeof(unsigned int));
       fstream_sol.write(buffer_sol.str().c_str(),pos_end-pos_start);
   }

Do you have any idea of what can be wrong?

Thanks for any help,
Sébastien
