Using HyperSlab in XDMF

ParaView Support
1

I am trying to use HyperSlab in a simple XDMF example. The example includes two triangular elements. The first column of the original connectivity matrix is the element ID:

 1 0 1 3
 2 0 3 2

So I am using HyperSlab in order to read only the last three columns:

 0 1 3
 0 3 2

But Paraview does not read the XDMF file correctly. Does anybody know what may be the cause? I used ParaView 5.8.0
