Re: [Paraview] elements to write for visualization

2009-07-27 Thread Moreland, Kenneth
I don't understand your question. Can you clarify it? Are you perhaps asking if you need to write out, for example, the triangle faces of each tetrahedron you write out? (Answer: no.) Are you asking if you can define a point, line, or triangle in 3D space? (Answer: yes.) -Ken On 7/25/09

You should always be able to create a valid vti file by simply loading or creating image data in ParaView (the Wavelet source works well for that), and then writing out a vti file. If you want further help on what is wrong with your file, it would be helpful to post it. You might also

At one point, I think it proposed to make the render window bigger than that used for the tiling, and then clip out the part you actually use from the middle of the window, thereby clipping off the boarder pixels where the problem occurs. -Ken On 7/27/09 1:23 PM, Utkarsh Ayachit

Re: [Paraview] builtin doesn't call MPI_Init?

2009-07-29 Thread Moreland, Kenneth
It is correct that MPI_Init is not called for builtin. This is because the paraview client application itself is not a parallel application. It has no MPI facilities, so MPI cannot be used within it. If you want to use MPI, you have to connect to a pvserver. -Ken On 7/29/09 11:30 AM, Bam

Re: [Paraview] Volume representation not working

I disagree. The current behavior looks fine to me. 1. Changing the range to make the bottom part visible is a bad idea. A better way to get the same effect is to raise the opacity of the leftmost control point a bit. 2. ParaView makes no effort to build a transfer function. The default

To answer your question directly, you could write out a csv file. You could read that in and then run the Table To Points filter to get the particles you want. After that, you could run the glyph filter to create the spheres or you could use the point sprite plugin to render them as spheres

Bam, If you are interested in how ParaView performs parallel processing, you should really start by reading the documentation first. You should look at Chapters 13 and 14 of The ParaView Guide (http://www.paraview.org/paraview/help/book.html) or at Chapter 3 of the SC08 tutorial

Please don't look at the plane source as an example for parallel processing. The plane source has no parallel processing. The plane source is designed to output a small amount of geometry. Trying to process this in parallel would just add overhead rather than provide any real benefit. If

ParaView forces a shared libs builds when PARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON is on. The reason is technical; Python cannot load ParaView's modules if they are built in static libraries. Clearly the shared libs requirement is rolling into your MPI library. I can think of three ways around the problem
