Hi all,
I am working on an application where I have to read many (potentially large) vtkMultiBlockDataSet, but only use parts of the data stored in those data sets. Thus, I am looking for a way to only selectively load data in order to minimize disk IO. I could of course parse the .vtm manually to get the paths to the blocks I need, but this is quite cumbersome and hard to maintain. I wonder if there is a way to do this natively in vtk - like telling the reader to parse the .vtm and then obtain a multiblock with only selected blocks, without touching the unneeded data.
Thanks for any help!
