Dear Experts,
Is it possible to write a reader plugin that can read multiple files’ content into one vtkMultiBlockDataSet?
In my situation, the data in each file is just a small block of the whole data, so i need to read them into one vtkMultiBlockDataSet then user selected all the files from UI.
Then in the pipeline browser view, all the file blocks will have the same parent
You can’t create a reader that will output a single multiblockdataset and at the same time, have an item in the pipeline browser for each block.
But take a look into the Multiblock inspector instead (View -> MultiblockInspector)
Other then that, it is definitelly possible to a plugin that expose a reader that read multiples files into one vtkMultiBlockDataSet.
Thank you Mathieu!
I tried GroupDatasets filter, it works.
However, if i load 2 files, after this filter, there will be 3 groupDataSets and the last one is the one that contain all the blocks.
I expected result is only one groupDataSet, and its children under it, just like a tree view
