Package: mayavi Version: 1.5-4 Severity: normal Hi!
I'm unable to read any block, except the first, in multiblock PLOT3D files. I can reproduce this bug with any multiblock PLOT3D file having more than one block. For instance we can consider the test case I prepared for bug #400406 (see [1] and [2]). [1] http://bugs.debian.org/400406 [2] http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/vtk-multiblockPLOT3D-bug-test.tar.gz?bug=400406;msg=5;att=1 Just to recap: that test case is based on a little PLOT3D grid ('tiny.xyz') and solution ('tiny.q'), generated by a simple Fortran program ('gen_tinyplot3d.f') on a little-endian machine. The PLOT3D grid is composed of 5 blocks, each one of which consists of a single cubic cell. Steps to reproduce the bug: $ tar xvzf vtk-multiblockPLOT3D-bug-test.tar.gz $ ls gen_tinyplot3d.f tiny.q vtk-multiblockPLOT3D-bug-test.tar.gz list_plot3d.py tiny.xyz $ mayavi The main window shows up. * from menus, select File -> Open -> PLOT3D file -> Multi-block file * as XYZ Co-ordinate file, select `tiny.xyz' * as Q Solution file, select `tiny.q' * in the configuration dialog window, select, say, density and momentum, and then click on the More Options button * in the detailed dialog window, check BinaryFileOn, DebugOn, DoNotReduceNumberOfOutputsOn, HasByteCountOn, MultiGridOn; *un*check the other checkboxes (that is to say: AbortExecuteOn, ForceReadOn, IBlankingOn, ReleaseDataFlagOn, TwoDimensionalGeometryOn) * select SetByteOrderToLittleEndian and click on the Ok button * back in the configuration dialog window, click on the Re-read data file button Everything seems to work so far. Debug messages on stderr seem fine and correctly show that there are 5 blocks. * click on the Set Block Number slider and try to select a block other than the first The expected behavior is a slider that actually moves and allows the user to select block 1 through 5. Instead, the slider does not move and no block but the first can be selected. Now the good news: I prepared a patch (against MayaVi version 1.5) that slightly changes the GUI in order to fix this bug. Please consider applying the attached patch to the Debian package and forwarding it to upstream. Finally the legal details. I hereby release my patch under the same license as the rest of MayaVi.
