Vishwa, I'm not familiar with that particular calculation. ParaView does come with a Temporal Statistics filter that will compute the average of each point and cell value over time, which looks like about half of the calculation you want to perform. The simplest way I can think of to

that color images with three scalar RGB values per grid node can't be volume rendered? If so, does that mean that what I'm currently attempting is impossible in Paraview? Or is there a way to hack RGB color information into single-value scalars and render a color 3D image? Moreland, Kenneth wrote

The table to structured grid filter only works if your csv file actually represents a 2D or 3D array. If your points have no implied topology, you can impose one by running the Delaunay 3D filter. -Ken On 7/21/10 5:55 PM, Scott, W Alan wasc...@sandia.gov wrote: Someone else may come up with

Actually, I think there is an issue with structured extents. The problem with structured extents is that ParaView/VTK will ask for a particular extent on each process, and these extents are not likely to match up with what is actually available on that process. It situation is stupid because

To clarify, by manually Utkarsh means that you need to use the mouse to adjust the 1/2,1/4,1/4 splits to be about 1/3,1/3,1/3. There is no way to make three equal splits automatically. I remember discussing grid type splits during developer meetings way back when. Ultimately, we just left it

Basically, yes, you will write your data out in time slices. However, you can also advertise time in the reader and VTK/ParaView can request particular time slices. To do this, add vtkInformationDoubleVectorKey::TIME_STEPS() and vtkInformationDoubleVectorKey::TIME_RANGE() key/value pairs to
