# Generate2DAMRDataSetWithPulse

VTKExamples/Cxx/CompositeData/Generate2DAMRDataSetWithPulse

### Description

This utility code generates a simple 2D AMR dataset with a Gaussian pulse at the center. The resulting AMR dataset is written using the vtkXMLHierarchicalBoxDataSetWriter.

Note

This original source code for this example is here.
