[Paraview] pvtu files and Cell Type polyhedron
I have a pvtu file and two vtu files. If I load Test2.pvtu in to paraview nothing happens. If I load the vtu files separately, I get the desired result. If I change the CellType from 42 to 12 in the vtu files I get the correct output by loading Test2.pvtu. It seems to me that the special cell type 42 is not correctly handled by the vtkXMLPUnstructuredGridReader Oswald Knoth Oswald Knoth Institut für Troposphärenforschung Permoserstraße 15 04318 Leipzig 0341 325 2147 kn...@tropos.de Grid_1002.vtu Description: Grid_1002.vtu Grid_1001.vtu Description: Grid_1001.vtu Test2.pvtu Description: Test2.pvtu ___ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] Paraview Visualization Ambiguity an a 2nd order Tetrahedra
Merhaba Umut, I would give it a bit more time before compiling ParaView for vector graphics. We are still working on resolving issues and making improvements. We also don't have any documentation yet. I CC'ed David. He is the main developer and can provide some more details.

The superbuild packages already have the vector graphics export built in (I verified with last night's build). If you'd like to build your own version, the current 'master' branch on git will have support for this feature (see http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView:Build_And_Install and follow the directions for the development version from git). To export a scene, use File - Export Scene, and select a vector graphics format. Currently, we have basic support for exporting 3D scenes and 2D charts as .ps, .eps, .svg, and .pdf files.

[Paraview] KEYS_TO_COPY method
Hi, I'm trying to implement a self-made plugin in Paraview, using a working VTK filter. This filter sets a key into the information of my output data set /outInfo = output-GetInformation()/ I have to retrieve this key into the RequestData() pass of the connected filter. It works well in a pure VTK pipeline, but in Paraview, it seems that an intermediate filter vtkPVPostFilter drops this information key. So I found in this mailing list that keys could be copied, by appending the key to KEYS_TO_COPY() key of the information. What I do by /outInfo-AppendUnique(vtkExecutive::KEYS_TO_COPY(), cnsVTK_ResultReader_HDF5::DATA_POINTER());/ The output information PrintSelf() : /Debug: Off/ /Modified Time: 235702/ /Reference Count: 1/ /Registered Events: (none)/ /DATA_POINTER: 1757632496/ /DATA_NUMBER_OF_PIECES: 0/ /KEYS_TO_COPY: DATA_POINTER/ /DATA_EXTENT_TYPE: 0/ /DATA_PIECE_NUMBER: -1/ /DATA_NUMBER_OF_GHOST_LEVELS: 0/ /End of result reader Request Data/ But the key is not copied, or at least, I can't read it into the consumer RequestData() pass : /inInfo = inputDataSet-GetInformation()/ The /inInfo/ PrintSelf() : /Debug: Off/ /Modified Time: 234317/ /Reference Count: 1/ /Registered Events: (none)/ /DATA_NUMBER_OF_PIECES: 1/ /DATA_EXTENT_TYPE: 0/ /DATA_PIECE_NUMBER: 0/ /DATA_NUMBER_OF_GHOST_LEVELS: 0/ So, all specific information keys have been deleted...

Re: [Paraview] Using VR-Style input devices
Hello again, Today I tried out the new VR improvements in the master branch. I can tell it's a big improvement over the state-file-hacking. Connecting some tracker input to an object is so much easier (and less error-prone) now! However, some issues remain for me: 1) GUI-Improvements: - It would be nice if one could specify the TrackerTransform via the GUI - The ability to load tracker-configurations from a file would be handy - When connecting tracker-input to objects, it would be nice if only compatible properties were displayed. - It would be nice if the grab tool would work globally, more like the mouse, and not have to be connected to a specific object. 2) Display issues: - In a curved screen setup powered by 3 overlapping projectors, the perspective seems to be incorrect: This can be most easily observed when you move your head past the coordinate system origin. What I would expect to see is that the z-axis (pointing out of the screen) points somewhat to the right when my x-position is negative, and to the left when my x-position is positive. What I actually see is that the perspective of the axis-cross does not change. What could I have messed up in the configuration that would cause this? - When moving a Slice-plane using the tracker (SliceOrigin,SliceOrientation), the displayed slice plane is not updated. I can see that the plane was moved on the client window, but the actual slice is not affected. I have to move the plane a little with the mouse to trigger an update of the slice. - Grabbing an object only affects the object in the client window, not the server view. When the Grab tool is connected to an object, I can move that object around, but I only see this in the client window. On the server side, things are totally unaffected by the changes. (I didn't test this one again with the new git master, so excuse me if it has been fixed since 3.14.1) 3) Loose ends I didn't find anything I can do with an analog input. Do I have to enable some special build option to enable those? Cheers, Johannes Am 24.10.2012, 17:01:37 schrieb Aashish Chaudhary: Hi Johannes, Very recently, we have improved the VR API and related tools and now the VR plugin comes with a GUI to configure connection managers and interactor styles. The way it works now is that you create a connection manager (lines 475 - 483), which will be generated by the GUI if used, and then for the styles, you would link it with the ID of the proxy and its specific property that you want to control. Now said that the GUI shows you the name of the proxy and not the ID for obvious reasons. Then depending upon the type of the proxy and property you specify a particular input from a HCI device. Currently we support analog, button, and tracker.

Myself, I'm more of a newbie concerning ParaView, so I'm having some trouble understanding the state-file and how to define a wand-device so that ParaView can use it. As far as I understand it, the VRPlugin reads the VRConnectionManager and VRInteractorStyles tags from the state-file and makes the connection to the server. The Styles in VRInteractorStyles are supposed to reference a proxy name, that they are then attached to. So in this example: VRInteractorStyles ...snip...

Re: [Paraview] KEYS_TO_COPY method
Hi Yves, You need to make sure that you are setting the right keys on the right information objects. We use quite a few different information objects so this is confusing at times. You need to set KEYS_TO_COPY() on the request (first argument to RequestData). You need to set the key/value you want copied on the output information (outInfo) and read it from input information. The data object's information object is not used for pipeline purposes so you can't do: *inInfo = inputDataSet-GetInformation()* * * You should do: inInfo = inputVector[0]-GetInformationObject(0); Best, -berk On Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 11:28 AM, Yves Rogez yves.ro...@obs.ujf-grenoble.fr wrote: Hi, I'm trying to implement a self-made plugin in Paraview, using a working VTK filter.

[Paraview] Use of glyph inside a C++ filter
Hello, I am trying to use the glyph filter internally inside another C++ filter. To set a normal property, I just use the associated command as show below: vtkPVGlyphFilter* glyph = vtkPVGlyphFilter::New(); glyph-SetInput(tmpOutput); glyph-SetSource(disk-GetOutput()); glyph-SetScaleMode(1); glyph-SetOrient(1); However, I am not sure how to set the properties that use a command=SetInputArrayToProcess. For example how do I tell the glyph filter which property contains the vectors to use (SelectInputVectors). In other words, what should I use instead of SetSelectInputVectors(...) which doesn't exists because SetInputArrayToProcess is used instead.
