[MOAB-dev] "Global" tags on root set

[Iulian Grindeanu]

Hello, 
I am using hdfview if the file is hdf5.

I installed it on my laptop too.

Moabsters, 

We sometimes store a single global value in a mesh file-- e.g. a value that was computed over the whole mesh during a calculation. The way we've been doing this is to create a sparse tag and store the value on the root set using that tag. 

The major downside about doing this is that it's complex to look up the value of a global tag without writing code. This is the only way I know to do it with our existing command-line tools: 

> mbsize -ll {meshfile} | grep {TAG_NAME} 

But this is an annoying solution for large meshes, since `mbsize -ll` can take a long time to run. 

Does anyone have a suggestion for a better way to look up the value of global tags? Is there a way to list tag values without verbosely printing the entire mesh? Also, do we have a visualization solution that can query tags on the root set?
