Sure, I have a simplified dataset for you showing the problem. It also shows a crasher bug (load dataset, add process id scalars filter, add histogram - crash) Paul On 08/15/2011 10:27 PM, Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: That sounds like a bug. Can you share the dataset? I can send you an url you can

Dear ParaViewers, Does anyone know a good way to retrieve the pipeline name for a filter within the filter code? For example if I have a plugin filter that comes up as myfilter in the pipeline and is applied several times, how can I retrieve the appropriate name in the RequestData method (e.g.

[Paraview] differences between MS Windows version and Linux version

2011-08-16 Thread Pei-Ying Hsieh
Dear Paraview developers/experts,   I am wondering what the differences are between MS Windows version and Linux version.   Using the Linux version (64 bit OS with 8 gb ram), paraview closed itself in the middle of rendering/saving images, while, the MS Windows version was able to complete the

Short answer is that you cannot. The 'name' is a ParaView client-specific thing that is not available within the data-processing pipeline. The real question is why would you need the name in RequestData()? Utkarsh On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 5:35 AM, kit kit.chamb...@rocktalkimaging.comwrote: **

Paul, If you're writing out data that is already partitioned, you should write it out as a collection of grids. Then each grid in that collection is read on a separate partition. Utkarsh On Tue, Aug 16, 2011 at 11:50 AM, Paul Melis paul.me...@sara.nl wrote: On 08/16/2011 04:23 PM, Utkarsh

[Paraview] Changing calculator output from double array to float array?

2011-08-16 Thread Cory Quammen
Is it possible to get the calculator in ParaView to output a float array instead of a double array? The vtkArrayCalculator class seems to support this, but it isn't exposed in the properties panel of the calculator filter. What I really want to do is generate a Normals array that will be used for

I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm pretty sure your hunch is wrong and there is no need to write out floats. There should be no problems with having normals that are doubles. What is probably wrong is that nothing has set the normal attributes. The VTK mappers do not just take any

What is probably wrong is that nothing has set the normal attributes.  The VTK mappers do not just take any field named Normals and assumes they are the normals.  Rather, you have to assign special attributes to fields in the vtkDataSetAttributes object. There is no direct way (that I know

Hi there, Has anyone successfully gotten the zlib module in the paraview superbuild to build and install? On my machine, it is failing on finding zlib.h; I am not sure how to interface with the Python setup.py patch to suggest additional directories (like ZLIB_INSTALL) to search for the
