[Paraview] Q-criterion still wrong ?
Good morning, I have just found the following bug report about a mistake in the Q-criterion formula. http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12858 that is now closed.

[Paraview] Render own vtkpoints, vtkpolydata, ...
I wrote a plugin (custom gui) in Paraview and am able to compute my data with my own created libraries.

[Paraview] producing uniform velocity vector?
Dear Paraview experts, I am wondering how I can produce uniform velocity vector of the flow field using Glyph. When I unchecked the mask points, paraview plots vector at ALL points. This is way too much for my case. I would like to reduce the number of vectors. However, if I selected the Mask Points, then, some area has lots of vector, while some other areas have almost NO vector plotted. I am looking for plotting the vectors in a uniform fashion across the whole flow domain. I am wondering how I can achieve this. Suggestions will be highly appreciated.

Re: [Paraview] Data directory in pvsm files
Hello Utkarsh, Mohamad,
Note we have supplied a working patch at:
http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=13092
which includes arbitrary environment variable support in pvsm paths:
where environment can be reference using syntax of
%VAR_NAME%, ${VAR_NAME} and $VAR_NAME. In the latest case ($VAR_NAME),
VAR_NAME must be
from [a-zA-Z0-9_-]+ language.
so full absolute paths can be replaced with:
Property name=FileName id=2875.FileName number_of_elements=1
Element index=0 value=${MY_DATA}/interesting_result.vtk/
We are using it in deployed production projects.

Hi,
I have a simple question.
Is it possible to assign an environment variable to define data directory in
pvsm files?
As I save a pvsm file, I see that paraview uses the complete directory
address to add files to the pvsm file.
I was wondering if there is a way to define that?
Or, an alternative question is, is there anyway for paraview just to write
the file names (and not the corresponding full directory)?
That way, we can run the pvsm file in any directory as long as all the data
files are in the current directory where the pvsm file is stored.
Thanks,
Mohamad

Re: [Paraview] ParaView thinks that it does not have a wind blade reader
Thanks. In today's git master it now sits in VTK/IO/Parallel/vtkWindbladeReader. The serial version should go in VTK/IO/Geometry. The MPI version should go in a new module VTK/IO/MPIParallel. (VTK/IO/Parallel depends only on vtkSocketController now and should not depend on vtkMPIController). Finally when that is done we can remove the flag in paraview's xml that prevents it from being used in serial. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

What I find interesting is that in your directories, the wind blade reader is located in VTK/IO/Parallel. For the ParaView snapshot that I downloaded, as well as the 3.14 source, it's still in VTK/Parallel. No Parallel folder in VTK/IO. Is this a recent change? So maybe the ideal folder layout would be: VTK/IO/WindBladeReader.* VTK/IO/Parallel/DistributedWindBladeReader.* I can make changes to the WindBladeReader to remove the MPI-IO calls and make a distributed wind blade reader class in case you want to add them to the repository. The one template I have for the parallel/serial split is the vtkStreamTracer and its distributed counterparts so I can use those as a guide. If you have better recommendations please let me know.

The problem was that vtkWindBlade reader was getting created to test CanReadFile and that would cause segfault unless MPI was initialized. Solved the problem by added support to vtkSMReaderFactory to respect the ProcessSupport flag on SourceProxy and change windblade reader XML to say that it only works in parallel. In other words, Windblade reader's Constructor should not take it upon itself to initialize MPI. Once that is fixed, we get to issue 2 before paraview 4.0 2) VTK's new modularization has the rule that no module can behave differently with parallel (or most other cmake config options) turned configured on or off. This is so because it makes it very hard to package VTK when the libs behave differently in different situations. Ie, we can't have any more #ifdef VTK_USE_MPI do something #else do something different #endif in VTK classes. Now if we want a class to behave differently when MPI is turned on or off we have to make a serial only version in a non MPI dependent module and a subclass of that in an MPI dependent module.

This makes ParaView think that the wind blade reader can't read a .wind file in serial. According to Andy, the reader works find in parallel. I assume that a fix for this is pretty trivial? It never did this before in previous versions of ParaView and I think that the wind blade reader code has remained mostly the same. Andy mentioned some details in person when he was talking with Jon but at that time I didn't know as much as I do now.

It seems that vtkFileSeriesReader does not support multiple output ports. Quoting Utkarsh from http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2011-December/023494.html vtkFileSeriesReader cannot support multiple output ports. Number of output ports has to be defined in the constructor of a class. Since the internal reader to use is not set until much later, vtkFileSeriesReader cannot report but 1 output port in the construtor and that cannot be changed afterwords. Maybe you can try supclassing the vtkFileSeriesReader to add support for that, but I'm not sure how much effort would it be to support requests from multiple output ports. Alternatively, you may just want to implemented file-series support in your reader. Does anyone have a good example of file-series support in a reader other than vtkFileSeriesReader documented here http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Animating_legacy_VTK_file_series#Making_custom_readers_work_with_file_series ?

[Paraview] visualizing a material in paraview
Hello, I'm new to Paraview. I have 2 questions about visualizing an atomic material from a LAMMPS simulation. 1. I got the atom coordinates in from LAMMPS into Paraview using Pizza.py. When I just import the file, I can look at it as-is using point representation. To make it look more like atoms, I can also use the glyphs filter on the input file. But! some of the points end up outside the spheres. My question is, why are there points that don't turn into spheres? How does PV decide what turns into a glyph and what doesn't? 2. What I'd like to do next is to see the pore space - i.e., everything that's in my simulation box that's outside the glyphs. Is there already a filter for that? I thought I might be able to make a box that's the same size as my simulation box and intersect it with the glyphs object, but I can't figure out how to do that. Thank you!

Re: [Paraview] visualizing a material in paraview
1) Look at the bottom of the glyph filter's properties tab. Max number of points and random mode says pick 5000 points at random and only glyph those. If turning that off makes paraview slow consider the point sprite or manta plugins. 2) Use the gaussian resampling filter to push the values onto a regular grid and then isocontour that.
