I am not sure I understand. Do you want to be able to define a scene in terms of primitives or do you want to be able to load primitives defined as a collection of polygons? ParaView does not really support the concept of a primitive bigger than a cell - polygons, tets, hexes etc etc. So even if there is a reader for a format that supports primitives, they would have to be converted to polygons upon load.<br>
<br>Maybe if you can provide us some use cases, we can help better.<br><br>Best,<br>-berk<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 3:46 PM, Stephen Sintay <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ssintay@lanl.gov">ssintay@lanl.gov</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">I am looking for a file format that will support input of primitives such as sphere. The VRMl2 (*.wrl) format appears to support this, but this format is superceeded by X3D and I am having difficulty finding documentation for the old format. Their does not appear to be a paraview reader for X3D.<br>
<br>
Are there other file formats that will support primitives? Sphere, cube, cone, etc... Or does anyone know where to find some documentation for the VRML2 file format that paraview has a reader for?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
