We have been very happily reading classical *.cosmo formatted datafiles using version 3.98.1, but when reading the same files in subsequent versions (4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3) the data get read, but wrongly interpreted. I did the diff of the PCosmoReader.h between v3.98.1 and v4.3.1 which suggested to me that the last number in the cosmo data (called ¹tag¹) is now int64_t rather than integer. So if we write the cosmo data with type MPI_2INTEGER (~ fortran kind=SELECTED_INT_KIND(15)) then the data are read correctly by the v4.3.1 cosmo reader (without byte swap).
If I select the ŒAdaptive cosmo reader¹ from the reader list, it displays a button for the ¹Tag Size¹ which can be 32-bit or 64-bit. This button does not appear on the ŒCosmology Files¹ choice from the reader list. Could it be that the build system is somehow failing to place the ¹Tag Size¹ button on the ŒCosmology Files¹ Properties panel? If so, it would be wonderful to get it put there so that we can have the choice of Tag Size on the very useful .cosmo datafiles. If not, please let us know if we are stuck with a 64-bit Tag Size. Thanks very much. ======================================================================73 <>Bucky Kashiwa PhD, PE <> Post: MS B216, Los Alamos, NM 87545 <> <> Ofc: TA3-SM123-RM276 <>Email: b...@lanl.gov, kash...@qwest.net <> <>Voice: 505-667-8812 <> Fax: 505-665-5926 <> <> Home: 505-988-7332 <> Cell: 505-795-5581 <> =======================================================================73 _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
