[Paraview] ParaView macros (was: Further questions regarding 4D dataset)
I put these macros in my Peavip lib : http://github.com/jeromevelut/Peavip It was initially devoted to expose VTK native filters in ParaView, but I think that it makes sense to put also ParaView python macros. It could be a solution to use such a repo to share macros. What do you think? Jerome 2011/7/12 Utkarsh Ayachit utkarsh.ayac...@kitware.com Sweet. That's neat. We need to start thinking of a mechanism to share/distribute macros now :). Utkarsh On Tue, Jul 12, 2011 at 2:36 PM, Jérôme jerome.ve...@gmail.com wrote: Macro-ized ! Richard, just add the attached py files as new macros and you will be able to switch between MIP, MinIP and Composite (the defaut one) volume rendering.

[Paraview] Filter time step range
Hello, is it possible to limit the range of time steps paraview is working on? For example a filter that narrows the range from time step 100 to 1000 and all subsequent filters will just see and operate on this time range?

Re: [Paraview] Representations in 3.10.1
I've also tried running the example within ParaView's built examples and receive the same error. It looks like when SetRepresentation() is trying to set the mapper, it doesn't exist by the new name. Thus it goes to the error message. Any idea if this is something I'm doing wrong or a bug? Brian C. Panneton (CONTR) wrote: I was trying to do the Representations Example for 3.10.1 however it failed to run. I grabbed the latest from the git repo and tried that example and it seems to work. However, when I attempt to use it, I receive an error: 'vtkGeometryRepresentation.cxx, line 455 vtkMySpecialRepresentation (0x5851500): Invalid type: 1' What I was doing was creating a cube source and switching to the Special Mapper in the drop down. From my understanding it was just going to use what the Surface Representation used. I was also wondering if you can use multiple mappers per representation. For instance I have a MultiBlockDataSet containing 3 blocks (Polydata for Points, Polydata for Tubes, Polydata for a Plane). So I was wondering if it is possible to have a single Representation use different mappers for each block. I would like to map a specific color set to the tubes and also an image to the plane. Is this possible?

Hi David, I think that the issue is that the polygon you constructed is not convex.

Re: [Paraview] Displaying a flat polygon with multiple vertices
I'd like to expand on Burlen's answer, which is correct. VTK sort of handles
concave polygons and sort of doesn't. In particular, it does not render them
correctly because the polygons are send directly to the OpenGL rendering
system, which in turn does not handle them. It would be possible for VTK to
handle this correctly, but it would be inefficient in the common case where
polygons are convex.
In general, filters should handle concave polygons correctly. For example, run
your polygon through the Triangulate filter. It will be properly triangulated
and will then render correctly.
This issue has shown up on the ParaView and VTK mailing lists before. For a
lengthy discussion, see this email thread:

If I run mpirun -np 1 pvserver, this is not an issue. It's only an issue with 2 processes or above. This doesn't happen if I load in a *foam file (i.e. openFOAM file); only with .wind and the most up-to-date release version of ParaView as opposed to 3.8.0.

I only modified the windbladereader to handle a slight format change, so my knowledge here is a bit limited (in regards to its original design) but I'll help out when necessary. From what I see there are two outputs (one field, one blade). I guess the nice thing about having a separate output for the blade is that I can render it separately from the field. I can send you a data set with more timesteps (similar to what you are using now, actually), problem is my DSL connection has a poor upload. Would three or four timesteps do?

The test file I have ( http://vtk.org/gitweb?p=VTKLargeData.git;a=tree;f=Data/WindBladeReader;h=3459e8ded59eb05796e922d90200bd4e83231df0;hb=HEAD) only has 2 time steps so I may need another set of files from you with more time steps. Playing around with the reader in ParaView, I think it may be worse than you realize. Only the time information for the field is getting updated properly and if you go back in time steps, the blade time step either still increases or stays the same if it has hit the last time step. I need to talk to our temporal pipeline expert to figure out the proper behavior. One question though -- is there a reason that the reader doesn't return a multiblock with the 3 grids in it instead of having 3 separate output ports? I'm thinking that if the output was changed to a multiblock then these time issues would go away.
