If some 3.8 RC1 bugs have been solved in line charts (points 1 and 2 in my previous mail about 3.8 RC1 regression in line chart), it is still impossible to change the default bottom-left axis system for another system with top or right axis. Hi Richard, I committed some fixes for this in ParaView/VTK master, the commit IDs are in the bug report notes, http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=10387 The patch is quite big, and so we will have to wait until the 3.8.2 release to integrate them (it will be one of the first changes to be merged after the final tagging for ParaView). So in the short term I will remove those elements from the display panel for the line charts, and add them back in once the 3.8 branch has tagged. It was necessary to refactor quite a lot of the logic in the vtkChartXY class to deal with effectively having four plots in each chart, manage four transforms, and sharing axes between the up to four plots. Please let me know if you experience further issues after applying the changes. Thanks, Marcus -- Marcus D. Hanwell, Ph.D. RD Engineer, Kitware Inc. (518) 881-4937 Hi Marcus.

Re: [Paraview] XDMF/HDF5 reader memory usage
After doing some more digging, it appears this problem is not only related to temporal collections, but all XDMF/HDF5 files with spatial collections. If repeatedly open and close a file containing a spatial collection, Paraview's memory usage gradually increases until it hangs my machine. I observe this in both 3.6 and 3.8 RC2.

Re: [Paraview] Branding branch
Hey Sam, Instead of trying to build those branded applications separately, did you try first to build ParaView with BUILD_EXAMPLES: ON and see if those applications are built correctly and run okay? I'm not really a Windows developer, either, but I've been able to build Release versions of the Example applications and my own branded app on Windows 7 64-bit. (I run them from the bin/Release directory under my build directory.) I used Qt 4.6.2 that I compiled myself with VS 64-bit compiler, Visual Studio 2008 Pro, CMake 2.8.1 and Python 2.6. My PATH variable is very minimal, I think only the Qt library entry is used to help configure the ParaView build: %USERPROFILE%\Programming\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin;C:\Python26;C:\Program Files (x86)\VTK\bin (the VTK part at the end is just so my separate vtk python stuff runs okay) Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble.

There you can set the PATH to include the ParaView bin/debug (or bin/release as the case maybe) and Qt dirs. You might want to download dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/), a handy utility to determine exactly what dlls are being used/not found etc. Use this to ensure that correct versions of the dlls are being imported. I'd refrain from copying over dlls, this often leads to user-related errors down the line. As far as the missing symbol error goes, it's possible your program is accidentally bringing in a mismatched vtkCommon dll. Do you have other VTK / ParaView builds in your PATH? Use the dependency walker to ensure that it's using the correct vtkCOmmon (and other) dlls. Hope that helps.

Re: [Paraview] Contours of streamlines crashing
I played around with this some more. Looks like I *can* replicate it with RectGrid2.vtk I'm using the regular Stream Tracer with a Point Source (not the Custom Source version with a Mask Points input), and changing the number of points to 10. Then applying a Contour filter on the Integration Time to generate particles. This works fine for the default settings of the Stream Tracer. However, if I change the Maximum Error to 1e-10, it crashes (again, only when attached to a Contour Filter). This is beginning to make some sense to me (I think). Because Runge-Kutta 4-5 is an adaptive integrator, the step size is decreased to match the error. Something similar must have been happening with my other data set, but because the scale of the data was different, a different Maximum Error was causing the crash. I think the Contour Filter is having issues when individual points on the streamlines are too close together. I've attached a python trace that works. However, changing the Maximum Error to 1e-10 causes a crash. Here is the location in the ContourFilter that is causing problems: #12 0x7fffe7b66f93 in vtkContourFilter::RequestData (this=0x23f58e0, request=0x21ce010, inputVector=0x238cc90, outputVector=0x2387d60) at /home/borland/dev/ParaView-3.8.0-RC2/VTK/Graphics/vtkContourFilter.cxx:549 549 cellScalars-Delete(); Favre Jean wrote: From: David Borland [borl...@renci.org] Sent: Monday, May 10, 2010 5:38 PM To: Favre Jean Cc: Zhanping Liu; paraview@paraview.org Subject: Re: [Paraview] Contours of streamlines crashing Yes, looks like I can't replicate it with RectGrid.vtk either.

Re: [Paraview] Mac branded packaging
Hey again, Okay, so I was able to solve #1: There was a cmake variable that wasn't set (i.e. wasn't carried over from the ParaView build) so the bundle-fixing script wasn't looking in the right spot for the Python libraries. If someone could still help me with the conceptual question in #2 I'd really appreciate it. I would like my users to be able to generate batch animations with pvpython. In my branded app I hard-code my custom plugins into my main window class, and the python shell within PV automatically knows about my custom filters, but I'm not clear on what it takes to get pvpython to know about those custom filters, too. So, sorry this sounds so ignorant, but is it possible to build a version of pvpython that will already have my custom filters built in? Or, will I always have to do an explicit LoadPlugin(), in which case I can just use the standard procedure for packaging the server executables, but also include my custom plugin libraries along with the standard PV ones.

I'm getting closer (after making sure my scripts were almost a verbatim copy of the PV ones), but I'm confused about a few things -- maybe someone can help get me further and/or clarify. The main difficulty is that I'm trying to not only get my app to run, but give my users access to the PV Python functionality (python shell and command line tools). 1. When I generate an executable app bundle (either with CPack or with make install), the app itself runs fine on a clean system, but the Python shell can't find some of the libraries. It looks like a lot of the python-required libraries are not being copied to .app/Contents/Libraries. How can I tell the system that I need all of that stuff bundled, too, when I build a DragNDrop? 2. If I want to distribute a version of the command line tools for making batch animations that will recognize all of the plugins I've hard-coded into my branded app, I've been assuming I need to package these binaries (pvpython, etc) based on my branded app build -- Is this true, or do I just need to somehow add my custom plugin libraries to a standard package of the paraview servers executables? The problem I have with (2) is that even when I build against a PV built with VTK_USE_RPATH: OFF and my branded app with CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH: ON, I end up with my executables and libraries depending on (the absolute path of) my local Qt installation, so they won't run on other machines. (And, I can't get my branded app to build against a version of PV which has PARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI: OFF.) Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: [Paraview] Branding branch
Hey Sam, Maybe this won't make a difference (and I don't remember where I saw to do this), but you have your PATH set to the Qt bin directory rather than the lib directory. I have some notes saying I had trouble unless the lib directory was in my PATH... -Eric On May 11, 2010, at 4:44 PM, A M wrote: Dear David and Eric Thanks for the comments, Davie: I added the path to the environment variable in VS and I still have the same issue.

Eric: I did that already (I mean compiling Paraview with the examples and BUILD_EXAMPLES: ON) I still get the same error, I almost tried any trick in the book you can imagine! the PATH variable in my use environment variable looks like the flowing: C:\Program Files\CMake 2.6\bin; C:\Qt\4.6.2\bin C:\Program Files\ParaView\bin ; plus some other stuff not related to paraview, which seems pretty normal to me, however I got the same errors as before! it does not find the dll files. I honestly don't know what to do anymore. The only solution I can think of right now is to switch to Linux operating system instead of windows, and that doesn't necessarily means that problem would be solved either, best! ~sam On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 2:12 PM, Eric E.

I'm not really a Windows developer, either, but I've been able to build Release versions of the Example applications and my own branded app on Windows 7 64-bit. (I run them from the bin/Release directory under my build directory.) I used Qt 4.6.2 that I compiled myself with VS 64-bit compiler, Visual Studio 2008 Pro, CMake 2.8.1 and Python 2.6. My PATH variable is very minimal, I think only the Qt library entry is used to help configure the ParaView build: %USERPROFILE%\Programming\qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.6.2\lib;C:\Program Files (x86)\CMake 2.8\bin;C:\Python26;C:\Program Files (x86)\VTK\bin (the VTK part at the end is just so my separate vtk python stuff runs okay) Sorry to hear you're having so much trouble.

I am not a regular Windows developer so I cannot tell you exactly how to access that option, but Visual Studio does have an option somewhere that allows you to specify the environment in which the application is running. There you can set the PATH to include the ParaView bin/debug (or bin/release as the case maybe) and Qt dirs. You might want to download dependency walker (http://www.dependencywalker.com/), a handy utility to determine exactly what dlls are being used/not found etc. Use this to ensure that correct versions of the dlls are being imported. I'd refrain from copying over dlls, this often leads to user-related errors down the line. As far as the missing symbol error goes, it's possible your program is accidentally bringing in a mismatched vtkCommon dll. Do you have other VTK / ParaView builds in your PATH? Use the dependency walker to ensure that it's using the correct vtkCOmmon (and other) dlls. Hope that helps.

Re: [Paraview] Mac branded packaging
Eric, You are correct, there's no way for pvpython/pvbatch to know about your plugins currently, nor is there a way to create custom pvbatch or pvpython executables. You will have to do an explicit LoadPlugin() in your python scripts. Utkarsh On Tue, May 11, 2010 at 2:46 PM, Eric E. Monson emon...@cs.duke.edu wrote: Hey again, Okay, so I was able to solve #1: There was a cmake variable that wasn't set (i.e. wasn't carried over from the ParaView build) so the bundle-fixing script wasn't looking in the right spot for the Python libraries. If someone could still help me with the conceptual question in #2 I'd really appreciate it. I would like my users to be able to generate batch animations with pvpython. In my branded app I hard-code my custom plugins into my main window class, and the python shell within PV automatically knows about my custom filters, but I'm not clear on what it takes to get pvpython to know about those custom filters, too. So, sorry this sounds so ignorant, but is it possible to build a version of pvpython that will already have my custom filters built in? Or, will I always have to do an explicit LoadPlugin(), in which case I can just use the standard procedure for packaging the server executables, but also include my custom plugin libraries along with the standard PV ones.

Monson wrote: Hey all, Packaging of my branded app is working well on Windows and Linux, but I'm trying once again to see if I can get packaging to work on OS X. I'm getting closer (after making sure my scripts were almost a verbatim copy of the PV ones), but I'm confused about a few things -- maybe someone can help get me further and/or clarify. The main difficulty is that I'm trying to not only get my app to run, but give my users access to the PV Python functionality (python shell and command line tools). 1. When I generate an executable app bundle (either with CPack or with make install), the app itself runs fine on a clean system, but the Python shell can't find some of the libraries. It looks like a lot of the python-required libraries are not being copied to .app/Contents/Libraries. How can I tell the system that I need all of that stuff bundled, too, when I build a DragNDrop? 2. If I want to distribute a version of the command line tools for making batch animations that will recognize all of the plugins I've hard-coded into my branded app, I've been assuming I need to package these binaries (pvpython, etc) based on my branded app build -- Is this true, or do I just need to somehow add my custom plugin libraries to a standard package of the paraview servers executables?
