Re: [Paraview] Plot selection over time for threshold

[Aron Helser]

Hi Jairaj,
This is exactly what the 'trace' and python macro functions are for. Take a
look in the Tools menu, and choose Start Trace. If you check the 'show
incremental trace' button you can see it's recording a python script as you
take actions in the GUI. When you've completed your steps, you can choose
'save as python macro' and you'll get a button that can repeat the steps.

To go more in-depth, look for information on python scripting in Paraview!
Regards,
Aron

Re: [Paraview] Pointer graphical and actual locations misaligned

[Aron Helser]

Hi Keith,
Yes, this is a known bug in some Intel graphics drivers, on Windows, and I
believe we've seen something similar on Linux, as well.
If your lucky enough to be running an Optimus laptop, just switching
ParaView to use the nvidia card fixes the problem.
Intel has also fixed the bug in their latest drivers, but my Dell laptop
hasn't picked up the fix in the official Dell drivers yet.

Here's the bug: https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/issues/17499

Re: [Paraview] ParaView session state

[Aron Helser]

Hi Eduardo,
I think you've basically got it, but the state is more complicated than you
think. Basically everything has a vtkSMProxy, and those proxies contain the
state of the pipeline, representation, and views. Anything that is modified
from the defaults gets saved in the state file. The vtkSMSessionProxyManager
is the root of a session, as you've found.
The input data is saved in the state file as absolute paths, and you do
need the input data. When you read state, it has that intelligent option to
search for the data files in another directory...

I've just been learning this stuff trying to add dynamic lights to
ParaView, so hopefully I'm close :)

HTH, Regards,
Aron

Re: [Paraview] Paraview Web bug on windows

[Aron Helser]

I can confirm that the bug still exists on Windows with the ParaView 5.4.1
binaries downloaded from paraview.org.

To fix it, you can do a little patch to your installation of ParaView.

In the file
{ParaViewInstallDir}\bin\Lib\site-packages\paraview\web\protocols.py,
around line 1070, add these two lines:

# Use the vtk data encoder to base-64 encode the image as png,
using no compression
encoder = vtkDataEncoder()
+# two calls in a row crash on Windows - bald timing hack to avoid
the crash.
+time.sleep(0.01);
b64Str = encoder.EncodeAsBase64Png(imgData, 0)

This should get you going again!
Regards,
Aron

Re: [Paraview] build pv5.3 on windows 10 with visual studio 15 2017

[Aron Helser]

That definitely makes me think it was due to compatibility between the
compiler used for QT and the compiler used for ParaView - they need to be
the same. I'm surprised you got ParaView to link with the newer version of
VisualStudio - there may be a way to make that work which is eluding us.
Glad you are up and running,
Aron

Re: [Paraview] build pv5.3 on windows 10 with visual studio 15 2017

[Aron Helser]

Claire,
To launch ParaView that I build on Windows, I had to explicitly add the QT
bin directory to my path, for example C:/Qt/Qt5.8.0/5.8/msvc2015_64/bin
I'm not sure QT has provided binaries for the latest VisualStudio, have
they? I'm using VS2015, which is VS 14.0, I believe. You may have to match
your VS version to the one used to build the QT binaries.
BTW, the fix for QT 5.8.0 is one line in one cmake file, so it's easy to
fix after you install it.
Regards,
Aron
