Hi,
The use-case is to be able to export a
geode::EdgedCurve3D
mesh with its attributes -- one of them being valued as 8-bit integers (aka.geode::local_index_t
) -- to Paraview (through the .vtp file format).Currently, 8-bit-valued attributes are not exported in Paraview .vtp files. From what I understand in the code in OpenGeodeIO, this is because these attributes are not flaggued as "genericable". The PR fixes that, but it modifies the core lib, and I'm not able to assess all the possible impacts...
