2010-11-03 Thread D Haley
Dear List, I recently compiled paraview 3.8 in order to use the new wavefront/OBJ reader. I have a vector cloud in an OBJ file (point+attached vector) that I would like to visualise, and thought this might be a solution. However, I ran the OBJ reader, and the normals for the points are loaded,

Dude! You are so awesome! Why didn't I think of that? Because I thought trace was for something altogether different from that. Now I feel like I can do anything! Thanks immensely for your help, Hamilton Woods -- Original Message --- From: emonson at cs.duke.edu To:

Hi Christine, As far as I am aware (and doing some of my own grepping) I am not finding any dependency on MD5 in ParaView/VTK, so this is very puzzling. Are you using some kind of secure MPI? Anyway, just adding in FindOpenSSL won't help as it won't change what libraries ParaView links to. You

Hi, Thanks Jerome. You are dead right! The writer doesn't want vtkpolydata, rather vtkimagedata. G, silly me. I couldn't figure out how to convert vtkpolydata to vtkimagedata without actually rendering to the screen unfortunately. Actually I found a really old posting on this mailing
