You have to translate them. If the data is unstructured you can use the calculator filter to do this by typing in the appropriate function of the coordinates. Of course the python programmable filter comes in handy too. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. RD Engineer 28 Corporate Drive Clifton Park,

ParaView tries to do no aggregation other than rendering onto the same screen. Each processor is told what portion it is responsible for via the UPDATE_EXTENT or UPDATE_PIECE/UPDATE_NUMBER_OF_PIECES keys and are supposed to only produce what it is asked for. (See

Can you try specifying the full path for the file? The following works for me without any issues with development ParaView, but I think it shouldn't have any issues with 3.10.1 as well. writer=CreateWriter(/tmp/myFile.csv,PlotOverLine1) writer.FieldAssociation = Points writer.WriteAllTimeSteps =

Utkarsh, I have tested your patch and it seems to fix the problem, so updating the time steps is now possible. I have reported the pythoncalculator bug on Mantis. The other bug, about the memory of object not being released if they are removed, even if Delete of del is used is more anoying, as

David, Thanks for your response. It's much clearer how it all works, but I'm still unsure how it fits together. I don't actually need to know the interprocess links -- I have a list of blocks to read and that list needs to be split over the processors. So each processor needs to identify

[Paraview] paraview 3.11.1 segfaults in animation because out of memory

Hi I'm trying to do an animation using paraview of several timesteps using the ensight format. Paraview seems to be increasing memory use with each timestep until it reachs the machine limit and blows up. I think memory use should be kept the same and arrays re-used no? feedback,

You should end up with one multiblock dataset on each processor, all of those should have eight children. On any given processor 7 of those children will be NULL and the remaining one will be unique to that processor. Use UPDATE_PIECE and possibly localprocessid to figure out which of the eight

Hi, Do you have animation caching enabled? you can check under edit-settings-Animation. Also what version of ParaView are you using? A memory leak in animation playback was fixed in the 3.10.1 release. On Thu, Aug 11, 2011 at 11:19 AM, Ricardo Reis rr...@aero.ist.utl.ptwrote: Hi I'm

Specifically, what filename did you give to the CreateWriter function? Did you give myFile.csv as in your example? If so, try a full path as Utkarsh accepted. Did you give /myFile.csv, and if so, do you have write access to your root directory? Did you give something like /tmp/myFile.csv and it

We see a similar thing in ocean/atmospheric data. X Y is in a different coordinate system than Z (e.g., lon/lat degrees vs. meters respectively), and thus must be scaled to be viewed properly. My solution is to use the Transform Filter when possible to scale the Z axis. The advantage is

In general, no. It is not possible to convert an unstructured grid to a structured grid because there are structures representable with unstructured grids that are non-representable with structured grids. For your question, it would be much easier to get the information you want by just
