Re: [Paraview] Tecplot reader from PV 3.8.1 fails on Linux Redhat CentOS
Ah, ok. Well, I have no answer, although it seems very strange that the binaries should perform so differently. I use CentOS 5.4 with an older version of ParaView. If I get hold of the ParaView 3.8.1 binaries, I'll test out the Tecplot multiblock reader myself and see how it goes.

I always used the downloaded 3.8.1 binaries from the Paraview download page. Following is the header of my ascii Tecplot File. I don't know exactly for which Tecplot version they are formatted by our CFD software, but they are readable by Tecplot 360, and I am using the same Tecplot files that I used on my HP workstation.

Note that the third dimension K is missing as each block is a surface grid. Tecplot 360 assumes that K=1, and the PV 3.8.1 Tecplot reader also does not care of the missing K dimension as it was working on HP Redhat 5. On Dell CentOS, no error message, but the data are incoherent. Regards.

I have been using Paraview 3.8.1 with the Tecplot reader without a problem on an old HP xw4200 workstation with Linux 64 Redhat 5. The only thing that did not work was the LIC plugin because my graphic card driver was too old. Today, my workstation has been replaced and I have now a Dell T3500 with Linux 64 Redhat CentOS, but the Tecplot reader fails. I get no error message, each array in the dataset is recognized with its correct name, but all values are completely wrong: each array (coordinates or CFD scalars) is in the range [0,9] or [-9,9] and the drawing in the 3D window looks like an aircraft after a crash! The problem appears both with PV 3.8.1 32 bits and PV 3.8.1 64 bits. I am using the binaries from the Paraview download page. Our CFD software produces only Tecplot files and I have a workaround with a small utility that can convert my ascii Tecplot Datasets into ascii VTM Datasets, and at least the LIC plugin works fine on theswe VTM datasets. But translating Tecplot datasets into VTM datasets is very annoying when I am using large CFD datasets for a full aircraft because it duplicates my data and it reduces my free disk space. Does anyone has an idea of what could be done to repair the Tecplot Reader on CentOS?

Re: [Paraview] Tecplot reader from PV 3.8.1 fails on Linux Redhat CentOS
Thank you for your help, Adriano. In fact, only the Tecplot reader has problems on CentOS. I tested again this morning: the Tecplot reader fails on both 32 bits and 64 bits binaries. But once I have converted my data into VTM files, PV 3.8.1 binaries are working fine and I can use the LIC plugin. Regards Richard Adriano Gagliardi a écrit : Ah, ok.

[Paraview] Hint to color the output by a given array
Hi, Is there a Hint tag that I can use to tell ParaView to color the output of a given filter by a given array? By default, ParaView uses for the output the same colot as was used for the input, which is fine in most cases. However, I would sometimes like to specify a given color for the output different than for the input, is it possible? Typical use case : in the filter, set an array as the ActiveVector (using output-GetPointData()-SetActiveVectors(my_array_name)), and I would like the output to be colored by this vector by default.

Re: [Paraview] Hint to color the output by a given array
It's not possible currently, but not a bad idea at all. Feel free to add it to the bug tracker. Shouldn't be too hard to implement.

Re: [Paraview] Error importing numpy [Windows]
I finally got back around to this problem and was able to correct the issue. The primary issue seemed to be that I was trying to import 32-bit numpy into a 64-bit Python interpreter installed with 64-bit Paraview. A secondary issue was a lack of understanding of how to use PYTHONPATH. I removed the 64-bit version of Paraview, and installed the 32-bit version. I then added a 'numpy.pth' file to the Paraview Python site-packages folder with the path to my previously installed Python site-packages folder (with numpy module). Now I can use numpy and the Python calculator and programmable filter!
