<TITLE>adding cell data directly</TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>I'm gradually closing in on the ability to construct an unstructured grid with associated data. I can now make the grid and write it out. What I can't do yet is add data to the cells (or points). I looked at the tutorial presentation referenced earlier, but that syntax doesn't work for me... vtkAddScalars is not defined.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Anyway, here I'm creating a hexahedron and adding it to an unstructured grid through a filter. Can I add a scalar value to the cell now? Say an interger v[1]? "C3D8R" is an ABAQUS element name...</FONT></P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2>Cheers,</FONT>

<P><FONT SIZE=2>P.S. sorry if you get an html version of this message. I'm doing this in plain text but when I see it comeback in the digest it is in html...</FONT></P>
