one thing to look out for : make sure depth peeling is turned off if you make use of the point sprite opacity features. The shader used by the depth peeling conflicts with the shader used in the point sprite.

The point sprite plugin is really cool. It allows efficient atomic presentation with control of the color, radius and opacity of individual atoms. I tried this on win7 64 system with precompiled 3.14 paraview. It only works for the object loaded by xyz file reader not lammps dump file reader. And when I tune the atom radius and opacity back and forth from "constant value" to "c_1 (atomic scalar)", some warning shows up "Warning: In ..\..\..\..\src\VTK\Rendering\vtkShaderProgram2.cxx, line 382 vtkShaderProgram2 (00000000135CBAB0): another program was used (id=5), our id is1." And when I continue to tune atom radius and opacity, numerous such warnings show up and pavraview will not respond to my tuning, although I can still rotation or pan the object. 2. I registered CFDEM, but I somehow cannot download the attachment other than the two pdf files. So can you send them to me through email? Thanks a lot!

Thanks, Scott, Yes, that does the trick. I guess this is not being seen on the dashboard because those machines all have MPI running. So there is a need to look at the CMakeLists.txt files for examples and testing to make sure that if MPI is excluded then those examples/tests need to be excluded.

Hi All, I am building ParaView from the Git repository and for some reason it is looking for MPI even though I have PARAVIEW_USE_MPI turned off. I can't see any other setting that is forcing MPI to be turned on. Is there something I am missing or is there an error in the configuration files? My output is: ... - Filter ZLIB is ON -- Could NOT find MPI_C (missing: MPI_C_LIBRARIES MPI_C_INCLUDE_PATH) -- Could NOT find MPI_CXX (missing: MPI_CXX_LIBRARIES MPI_CXX_INCLUDE_PATH) CMake Error at VTK/Parallel/MPI/CMakeLists.txt:35 (message): MPIEXEC was empty. -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! make: *** [cmake_check_build_system] Error 1 Regards -- ___________________________________________ Andrew J.
