Hi Claudio,

I have correct Pixie reading in Paraview next.

    Hi Claudio,

    I will be looking at this issue and hope to have a fix in for the
    next release candiate.

        Dear Utkarsh,

           thanks for trying to look into it.

           These are some datasets distributed with VisIt to test the
        Pixie output

        <http://portal.nersc.gov/svn/visit/trunk/data/pixie_test_data.tar.gz>

           As you will notice Paraview 3.14 or newer can not open the
        file pixie_expressions.h5,
           while it correctly opens all other files (pixie3d3.h5,
        ...), where the only difference
           between the files is the number of timesteps contained in
        each of them.

           The following files are written by the code that we develop
        (http://plutocode.ph.unito.it/):

           blockedhttps://dl.dropbox.com/u/18683007/data.2tstep.h5
        <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18683007/data.2tstep.h5>
           blockedhttps://dl.dropbox.com/u/18683007/data.1tstep.h5
        <http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18683007/data.1tstep.h5>

            Paraview 3.14 or newer can open data.2tstep.h5 but hangs
        when trying to open data.1tstep.h5.
            These files contain 2 and 1 timesteps respectively, but
        their structure is exactly the same
            (groups, attributes, datasets, etc etc ...)

            Previous versions of Paraview (down to 3.10) and VisIt (up
        to the current release 2.5.2) can
            correctly open all the files. Therefore I suspect that the
        problem is somewhere in the bridge
            from VisIt to Paraview of the two most recent releases.
            I have always used the pre-compiled binaries for Mac OS X
        64-bit Intel.

            Thanks again,
            Claudio

        Claudio,

        Do you have any sample dataset that I can use to test
        this/the fix?

        Thanks,

                I already had this problem with Paraview 3.14.1 but I
                received no answer to a first email,
                so I tried to investigate on my own since the problem
                is still present in release 3.98.0.

                Paraview can not open a Pixie file (it's a HDF5
                format included through the VisIt Database
                Bridge) when the file includes one timestep only:
                Paraview just hangs indefinitely.
                Everything works fine when multiple timesteps are
                contained in the file.

                I suspect that the problem is connected to lines
                618-634 in
                
Utilities/VisItBridge/AvtAlgorithms/vtkAvtFileFormatAlgorithm.cxx:

                      //in some case the times and cycles have all
                    zero values.
                      //This is caused by a file reader that
                    generates the time value
                      //once the reader moves to that timestep.
                      //That kind of behaviour is not possible
                    currently in ParaView. Instead
                      //we will force the reader to generate the time
                    values for each timestep
                      //by cycling through everytime step but not
                    requesting any data.
                      if(hasTime && timesteps[0] ==
                    timesteps[timesteps.size()-1])
                        {
                        //we have hit a timestep range that needs to
                    be cycled
                        for(int i=0; i < timesteps.size();++i)
                          {
                    this->ActivateTimestep(i);
                          //Nek and other readers don't update the
                    time info intill you
                          //call gettimes.
                    this->AvtFile->FormatGetTimes(timesteps);
                          }
                        }

                The condition is true not only when the same value
                (0?) has been assigned to all
                the timesteps but also when there is one timestep
                only (timesteps.size() = 1).
                Besides these lines were not present in Paraview
                3.10/3.12 and these releases
                were able to open Pixie files containing one timestep
                only.

                Is it possible to fix this problem? That would be
                highly appreciated.
                Regards,
                Claudio
