<div>vtkDataWriter and vtkDataReader have a method which tells them to write to/read from a buffer rather than to a file. A plugin that makes use of that is probably the quickest path to get started. Alternatively, XDMF has a distributed shared memory option which was developed for the same purpose.</div>
<div><br></div><div>In either case you will also need some sort of synchronization so that the reader never tries to read a partially written buffer.</div><div><br></div>David E DeMarle<br>Kitware, Inc.<br>R&D Engineer<br>

I made a client-server paraview system, from the client I ask to the server to open a vtk file, render it and give back render to the client. It's working well.<br><br>But now, my boss said that we'll have a vtk file generated by an other program that'll be about 100Go and we don't want to write it to HDD in .vtk formate and after read it ( like before ), so I need to read the vtk file directly from memory.<br>
<br>Is there a way to give to a reader a pointer to the memory vtk file ?<br><br>PS: I'm not sure that this is very understandable but I'm not sure myself ... The main thing is that we make a vtk file in memory but don't want to write it in HDD. ( First solution envisaged is to dump memory. )<br>
