<p class="MsoNormal">Hi All,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After seeing a post this morning about “<a href="http://vtk.1045678.n5.nabble.com/Separation-of-lt-Points-gt-and-lt-Cells-gt-datablocks-from-Unstructured-Grid-vtu-files-td5720669.html">Seperation of <Points> and <Cells> datablock from UnstructuredGrid
(.vtu) files</a>”,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I thought it might be possible to use this to write out MultiBlock/Composite files temporally . Unfortunately, it looks like the settings<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">from the root CompositeDataWriter aren’t passed to the data writers for the leaves. It also seems to ignore putting the<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">“TimeValues” type information in the meta file (root xml file for the multiblock dataset).<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">For the leaves, the settings issue causes problems with the writing of those blocks:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1)Time information is not present<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2) written files are invalid xml as the file begins with a broken offset tag something like:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> offset="6468764"0"?><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Issue 2 can be seen by simply attempting to write out an xml multiblock file.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I worked around it by setting the code writer to Binary mode explicitly.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Are these bugs or known limitations of multiblock format?<o:p></o:p></p>
