Hi all,
Testing the netCDF reader with "spherical coordinates" set, I get
a vtkStructured Grid incomplete. There is no circular topology.
I was expecting a complete sphere where points from first column would be
connected to points from last column in the vtkStructuredGrid created.
Is there a way to do this from an existing filter or from
the python programmable filter ?
Or better could the netCDF reader be corrected
(VTK/IO/vtkNetCDFCOARDSReader.cxx) ?
By the past, I have installed and used the external plugin CSCSnetCDF
reader
from John Biddiscombe of the Swiss National Supercomputing Centre.
I was quite happy with it.
Today, I discover that paraview binairies are distributed with the
netCDFCOARDS reader
with some features I don't like. For example, that fact that the vtk
structure created
are different following the netCDF grid topology (regular spacing or
not, spherical coordinates or not).
I think it would be attractive for all the General Circulation Model
(GCM)/ /community
to provide a netCDF reader, closer to the CF (Climate and Forecast
netCDF convention) widely adopted.
This reader would create for example a same vtkPolydata structure
whatever the netCDF grid read
as in the vtk application described from
http://www.prism.enes.org/Publications/Reports/Report19.pdf
Is there any interest to develop this netCDFCF reader among offcial dev
team ?
Thanks
Patrick
