Hyper Tree Grid (HTG) Source: Issue Tracker
Context
The "Hyper Tree Grid" source (vtkHyperTreeGridSource
) serves to transform a string literal descriptor of a Hyper Tree Grid into a vtkHyperTreeGrid
data object. It would seem that it has a certain number of robustness problems. This issue is an attempt to start tracking them.
Problems
-
Setting one of the "Dimensions" properties to 0
(i.e. trying to generate a 2D HTG) results in a crash with the following output:
( 24.311s) [paraview ]vtkHyperTreeGridSource.:834 ERR| vtkHyperTreeGridSource (0x55bbb0a59980): String level descriptor . has cardinality 1 which is not expected value of 4294967295
The "Dimensions" property must be set to 1 to generate a 2D object.
-
The MaxDepth
property serves almost no purpose since the number of levels can be deduced from the descriptor -
The documentation regarding the format of string descriptor is non-existent in the thumbnails and in the dedicated documentation accessible from ParaView -
Once a mistake has been made in editing the "Descriptor" property, the source becomes frozen and will not generate an output even after correcting the mistake. It must be deleted and recreated in order to try again.
