In developing a Filter that takes a MultiBlockDataset as input I am
having some issues with the extents that the pipeline gives versus the
extents that the data sets within the Input MultiBlockDataset. The
output from the filter is a vtkImageData object.
The datasets within the MultiBlockDataset all have extents of 0-188,
0-200, 0-0, yet if I have the following code:
vtkTypeInt32 updateExtent [ 6 ];
if (outInfo->Has(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT()))
{
updateExtent [ 0 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 0 ];
updateExtent [ 1 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 1 ];
updateExtent [ 2 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 2 ];
updateExtent [ 3 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 3 ];
updateExtent [ 4 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 4 ];
updateExtent [ 5 ] = (outInfo-
>Get(vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_EXTENT())) [ 5 ];
}
I get "0 188 0 200 1 1" as the values for the "updateExtents"
variable. This then plays havoc as I am trying to get the pointer to
the front of each data set like this:
float* phiF = static_cast<float*>(phi-
>GetScalarPointer(updateExtent[0], updateExtent[2], updateExtent[4]) );
which then gives the error:
ERROR: In /Users/Shared/OpenSource/ParaView3/VTK/Filtering/
vtkImageData.cxx, line 1473
vtkImageData (0x22fb32b0): GetScalarPointer: Pixel (0, 0, 0) not in
memory.
Current extent= (0, 188, 0, 200, 1, 1)
For this filter I do NOT have a RequestInformation() method. I tried
adding one and setting the outInfo-
>Set( vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::WHOLE_EXTENT(), extents, 6 );
but that didn't help and in fact set the pipeline extents to 0, -1, 0,
-1, 0, -1 instead.
I think my "Reader" class further up the pipeline might be setting
something wrong? as I can use this filter from another "Reader" that
reads the same type of data, but from an HDF5 file instead and the
filter performs as expected. Or it is just lucky somehow and works.
Any insights would be most appreciated.
This is with ParaView 3.6.2 running on OS X and Windows 7.
