Hey Rich! I recommend reading in the data directly with the CSV reader. Then apply the table to points filter to convert the data from a table to a point set. In the T2P filter you specify which columns are x,y,z and which are normal arrays. >From there you can apply the glyph filter to scale

The public AMI are below. Just beware that they require GPU. Otherwise, I agree with you, a docker image and/or some ansible playbook would be nice. I am not sure I will get to it that soon, so if you happen to build any of that and are willing to share with the community, then let me know, that

Hi Rob, Is it a headless machine or not? The pvw-setup is targeting a regular desktop computer with GPU and proper OpenGL drivers. The setup that I was mentioning earlier is a special setup when no GPU is available hence the need to build ParaView specifically for your hardware. So my question

I'm not sure how to succinctly describe what is going on, but I will give it a try. The table to points is creating a data set with a single "cell" containing all of the points. This is a little bit weird thing to do since filters like threshold will treat all the points as a single cell, which

Hi Rob, Are you planning to have a GPU on the server, or just a CPU? If you are targeting just CPU, you will have to build ParaView with OSMesa and llvmpipe (Which will provide somewhat slow rendering). Here is a documentation on how to build both of them:

Someone else here may know better, but on Linux I believe it is not so much paraview as making sure you have the right OpenGL implementation. It might be a matter of grabbing a newer version of Mesa (provides OpenGL) using apt get or something like that. Push comes to shove you can build mesa

For software rasterization in Mesa I think llvmpipe is the safer bet. If I recall correctly swrast is an old legacy rasterizer and does not support the more modern OpenGL functions in Mesa. Ken On Mon, Mar 21, 2016 at 10:49 AM, Rob Nagler wrote: > I'm trying to install
