Hi Karl, Thanks a lot for the tip. I followed vtkAVSucdReader.h/cxx and hoped to solve my issue. I understood vtkAVSucdReader:: CellDataArraySelection and vtkAVSucdReader ::PointDataArraySelection are responsible filling the "Cell/Point Array Status" window. However, I am not sure how these two arrays are interfaced. I have added these two arrays and corresponding access functions (Get/Set) in my reader class. I still do not see anything within "Cell/Point Array Status" window. FYI, my reader is a plugin class. Is AVSucdReader a plugin class as well? Thanks a lot for the help.
