Thanks Cory, that's the function I was looking for.


Got it working now 


I attached a working version for anyone interested; README inside with some 
instructions

Cheers!

Ahmad,

First, I recommend that you try loading your plugin in the ParaView
UI, using the ParaView that you built your plugin against. Then, in
Tools -> Manage Plugins. Click on Load New... and select the file
libvtkPVGlyphFilterP.so. You should now be able to find your filter
GlyphP in the Filters menu.

Second, to instantiate the filter the way you are trying is correct,
but first you need to load the plugin. I believe you can do it this
way:

vtkSMPluginManager::LoadLocalPlugin("//libvtkPVGlyphFilterP.so");

HTH,
Cory

Re: [Paraview] Scaling cylinder glyph's radius and height individually

[Ahmad .]

Sorry about that Cory; will keep this in the mailing list.


I have tried to implement your suggestion, and now I have generated a plugin 
file "libvtkPVGlyphFilterP.so".

Please find the files I used to create this plugin in the attachment.


What I did after compiling the plugin:


  1.  Try to use the new class I made, like such: 
`session_manager_->NewProxy("filters", "GlyphP")));`
where GlyphP is what I called my custom glyph filter (see the xml file in the 
attachment).
  2.  Compile my application against "libvtkPVGlyphFilterP.so".
  3.  Run my application and get the following error:

ERROR: In 
/home/ahmad/paraview/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Core/vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager.cxx,
 line 526
vtkSIProxyDefinitionManager (0x294d320): No proxy that matches: group=filters 
and proxy=GlyphP were found.

I feel like I am missing an important step, which has to do with the XML file, 
but I don't know how.

In the Plugin Wiki of ParaView the instructions I find after compiling are: 
Then using cmake and a build system, one can build a plugin for this new 
filter. Once this plugin is loaded the filter will appear under the 
"Alphabetical" list in the Filters menu.
There are no instructions on how to use the new class in a C++ pipeline...

Any pointers on this?

Best,
Ahmad

Hi Cory,


Thanks for your reply.


I am trying to implement your suggestion of extending the vtkGlyph3D with this 
additional "scaling by normals".

The idea seems quite straightforward. I was just wondering how to incorporate 
this new class in my C++ pipeline.

Currently I create the glyph, and set its properties, like this:


vtkSmartPointer glyph;
glyph.TakeReference(vtkSMSourceProxy::SafeDownCast(
session_manager_->NewProxy("filters", "Glyph")));
controller_->PreInitializeProxy(glyph);

vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "Input").Set(producer);
vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "Source").Set(GetCylinderSource(glyph));
vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "ScaleMode", true).Set(0);
vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "ScaleFactor", true).Set(1.0);
vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "GlyphMode", true).Set(0);

As you can see I am not directly working with vtkGlyph3D or vtkPVGlyphFilter 
classes, but I am using the vtkSMPropertyHelper to take care of the boilerplate 
code.


Right. Unfortunately, implementing my suggestion would require creating a 
subclass of vtkPVGlyphFilter and importing that with a ParaView plugin. See the 
ParaView Howto on how to add a filter to ParaView.

After I created a new class that has this extra scaling option, how would I go 
about using this in such a pipeline? Do I need to 'register' my "ModifiedGlyph" 
to the filter proxies to be able to do something like `NewProxy("filters", 
"ModifiedGlyph")`?

Yes, that should do it. Your modified glyph class will be available once you've 
imported the ParaView plugin mentioned above.


A quick question about setting the active normals. Is there an existing way to 
do this, or would I need to do this myself? I would like to do this the same 
way one would set the "Scalars":


vtkSMPropertyHelper(glyph, "Normals")
.SetInputArrayToProcess(vtkDataObject::POINT, "ScalingArray");

I think that should work.

Best,
Cory


Looking forward to your reply.

Hi Ahmad,

Alas, reading the code of vtkGlyph3D, you cannot orient by a vector
array different from the vector array used to do the scaling using the
functionality in ParaView. You would have to modify either
vtkPVGlyphFilter or its parent class vtkGlyph3D, to do this, and
expose the new VTK class through a ParaView plugin [1]. A simple
modification would be to add a ScaleMode, say VTK_SCALE_BY_NORMAL, to
vtkGlyph3D, and then set the active normals in your data set to the
vector by which you wish to scale. Then the "vectors" property could
control the orientation and the active normals would control the
scale. That's kind of kludgey, but it would be a fairly fast
modification to make.

HTH,
Cory

Re: [Paraview] Scaling cylinder glyph's radius and height individually

[Ahmad .]

Just want to add that a programmatic (C++) solution is preferred rather than 
using the GUI

I have a C++ pipeline where I can set the properties of the cylinder glyph with 
vtkSMPropertyHelper.

I have looked in filters.xml under vtkPVGlyphFilter source proxy (file located 
in /ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources) to see 
what my options are, but there is only one "SetInputArrayToProcess" that takes 
a vector attribute as input; nothing about a vector specifically for 
orientation..

Suggestions on how to handle this issue, are very welcome; other approaches 
than mine as well!

Onderwerp: Re: Scaling cylinder glyph's radius and height individually


Following up on my own question, I found out that if I scale by "Vector 
Components" it is possible to change the length of the cylinders with the 
second vector index, and the radius with the first and third. I need to 
rearrange my attribute data as such: [radius_x, length, radius_z]. If I keep 
radius_x == radius_z, then the cylinder will not deform, and the cross section 
stays a perfect circle. See the image in the attachment please.


BUT the problem here is that "vector components" also affects the orientation 
of my cylindrical glyphs. I can turn this off in the properties menu, but I 
need to orient my cylinders based on another vector attribute data...


I feel I'm getting somewhere, but if someone could give me an idea on how to 
now orient my glyphs with another vector data than the one I use now for 
scaling, that would be much appreciated!

Best,
Ahmad

Dear community,


When I try to scale cylindrical glyph objects by a 'Scalar', it scales both the 
radius and height of the glyphs.

Is there a way to scale the radius by a Scalar1, and the height be a Scalar2?


I have an unstructured grid, and for each point I want to create a cylinder 
that can have an arbitrary radius and height.

I thought Glyphs would be the way to go, but I'm kind of stuck with this issue.


Any help is much appreciated; or if you can recommend a different way to 
achieve the above-mentioned please let me know!
