Dear paraview fellows, I am trying to carry out a parallel rendering using paraview on our cluster. I got it almost running except for one issue: rendering of Text fails. Hopefully someone can advise me.
I followed the approach of the tuturial with the Sphere example ( http://www.cscs.ch/fileadmin/user_upload/customers/users_entry_point/HORUS_Doc/PvPython.pdf ) So I added the renderview and ProcessIdScalars to all the Show() commands, e.g.: *RenderView1 = sm.CreateRenderView() SurfaceVectors1 = SurfaceVectors(SelectInputVectors = ['POINTS', 'U']) DataRepresentation5 = Show(ProcessIdScalars(SurfaceVectors1),RenderView1) * This works fine (also in parallel on 8 cores), except for the show of plain Text with Text There I had to remove the ProcessIdScalars function, so I do: t=Text(Text=timestr) Show(t,RenderView1,Color=[0.0,0.0,0.0],Position=[0.01,0.95],FontSize=15) Now it works, even if I run it on 1 core on the cluster. However, if I run it on 8 cores, I get the error message *Process id: 0 >> ERROR: In /scratch/ParaView-3.8.1/VTK/Filtering/vtkDemandDrivenPipeline.cxx, line 827 vtkCompositeDataPipeline (0x5fc3b80): Input for connection index 0 on input port index 0 for algorithm vtkTransmitPolyDataPiece(0x5fc1ab0) is of type vtkTable, but a vtkPolyData is required.* Apperantly it is not allowed, it need information on the process Id I suppose. However, ProcessIdScalars does not work. Is there anybody who would know a solution?
