Re: [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: boolean mesh filtering

2017-11-27 Thread Cory Quammen
Alan, It would be possible to expose the boolean operations filter in ParaView without much trouble. However, that filter is limited to polydata-to-polydata intersection (a plus for Jeff's application), and works best when the geometries overlap but do not share faces (a minus for Jeff's

Afraid not. One potential work around would be you build the transformation matrix and set that on the camera. You can build the matrix yourself by changing the order of rotations. Utkarsh On Fri, Nov 24, 2017 at 1:43 PM, Léo Pessanha wrote: > Thank you again for

Catalyst live-session is managed this custom engineering from both the client and the server side. Hence it's not a mechanism that arbitrary filters can use to communicate events from server to client. If you're interested in how Catalyst live sessions manages this, start by looking at

Mark, You're simply missing a call to `this->SetNumberOfOutputPorts(1)` in your constructor. That will get past the segfault. Besides that, look at `vtkTemporalArrayOperatorFilter` as an example for how to overload `RequestDataObject` to create correct output dataset type, `RequestInformation`

Understand. My monitor resolution (i.e., retinas) behind my just discovered, early cataracts, isn't getting better either. But, you would be surprised how many people complained about the font size of text in 5.3'ish. Thus, the bug report on text size, and the bug report on icon size. By

In my ongoing quest to get a filter to process multiple time steps worth of data into a single result field I've attempted to derive a C++ vtk filter from vtkMultiTimeStepAlgorithm. However, the attached simple example segfaults out when I try to apply it in paraview. All it should do is a

There isn't anything in ParaView to view empty volumes. At some stage, the volume you are talking about needs to be represented by a grid or mesh for it to be visualized with ParaView. If you can generate a volumetric mesh outside of ParaView, then you could use all the visualization techniques in

Hi Eman, The Warp By Scalar filter will warp a geometry, such as a circle, according to a scalar field at each point in the geometry. The geometry must have a Normals array set for this to work. The Glyph filter can draw arrows scaled according to the scalar value at your circular geometry.
