Yes, the VTK file format does have this limitation AFAIK. The PLOT3D data format does support multi-block data. MayaVi1 has a reader for it that should let you display it but I think the display is not going to be that great since it lets you view one block at a time. MayaVi2 does not support the multiblock PLOT3D data at all (yet) since the downstream objects will only use the first output of the data. I think the EnSight file format also supports multi-block data. VTK has a multi-block file format so called ".vtm" files but this lets you point to multiple *.vt* files inside so you can construct a multi-block dataset of those. mayavi1/2 do not support these yet. MayaVi does not do too well with multi-block data. Primarily because I don't have multi-block data that I use or play with. I do take patches, you know. :-) You can file a ticket asking for this to be included eventually in mayavi2 here: https://svn.enthought.com/enthought/ cheers, prabhu ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
