DBAnnotateUcdmesh (internal method) can get shapetype wrong

Open aowen87 opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

DBAnnotateUcdmesh adds a shapetype array to a zonelist after reading in a ucdmesh in DBGetUcdmesh.The problem is that it keys off of ndims member to determine dimensionality of the entities and that member is the spatial dimension of the mesh not the topological dimension. So, I am pretty sure a writer creating a zonelist of polygons in 3-space will fail badly.
