[Paraview] ParaView and double precision Rendering
Hello I made a paraview reader plugin which loads Point data of type double from an ASCII file (can be choosen as checkbox in reader parameter gui). It is important that point data type is double since our values have a huge offset, e.g. Coordinate in float: 3376382.75-325198.59375 -121298.125 Coordinate in double: 3376382.849028525874 -325198.60899497801438 -121298.12806414699298 (same ASCII input file of type double, above printings come from spreadsheet view so loading is correct) (all my points have such small changes, I definitely can see those small changes in 3d) The problem is: I load the dataset once in float and once in double ( I checked result in spreadsheed view) I cannot see any differences in 3d renderer when I swap visibility of float and double input (but you can see in spreadsheet). Is the double precision rendering not correct/not supported? Any ideas?

[Paraview] numpy-ParaView for surface
Hello, Is there an example of taking a simple two-index numpy array and creating a surface plot in ParaView through the python shell? An example of this for Mayavi is at http://docs.enthought.com/mayavi/mayavi/auto/example_canyon.html#example-canyon Really, if I just have some idea how to encapsulate the numpy array into some VTK structure and then send the structure to the ParaView pipeline, I can probably figure the rest out. I apologize if this is available someplace I haven't discovered yet (perhaps because of poor wording in my searches).

Re: [Paraview] Fwd: Rendering speed sluggish using cluster
Utkarsh, Previously, it was not okay when interacting with the 3D view. Now, however, I have recompiled ParaView (both on the cluster and on my workstation), and with settings at: Remote Render Threshold : 0 (I don't think this was the culprit - it was already low, but this makes it certain, I suppose) Still Render Image Reduction Factor : 1 (I can't increase this, or I seem unable to see the features of interest) Image Reduction Factor : 8 (I'm uncertain if this is helpful, but certainly the description would indicate it may be the option of interest) and mpirun -np 12 path/pvserver --use-offscreen-rendering each having a maximum of 16G RAM and an IB connection between nodes, the problem is vastly reduced/gone. I'm sorry I can't be more specific as to what changed to make this so much smoother - there are still delays, but now these are just a few seconds, and that seems reasonable, compared with the multiple minute lockups previously experienced. I suspect I might have had some combination of poorly chosen compilation options, and poorly chosen rendering settings.

I can connect remotely. The cluster does not have graphics cards installed, so I'm using the '--use-offscreen-rendering' flag. The client options for 'Remote Render Threshold' and 'LODThreshold' are both set to 0. On the cluster, I'm currently trying with 48 cores each using 16GB RAM, just in case I was previously using too little. I'm pretty sure this is overkill - certainly the problem seems comparable to when I run it on 8 cores each using 4GB RAM etc. I suspect I'm just not using the software well, or have installed either the client or (more likely?) the cluster's pvserver badly. Both are using 4.2.0, client has version 4.2.0-287-g1631961 64-bit, pvserver returns just 4.2.0 as the version. When changing any aspect of the render view, the client becomes unresponsive/sluggish for long periods of time. This includes, for example, moving the coloring scale bar across the screen.

Re: [Paraview] Error when connecting to pvserver (pv 4.3.1)

It thus seems like the communicator size is determined correctly, but only one process is really active. What am I doing wrong, or what do I have to do to get MPI to work as expected? Thank you very much in advance Michael P.S.: After starting the server and connecting to it, I get the following warning once per rank: Warning: In /home/mic/.pool/.src/ParaView-v4.3.1-source/ParaViewCore/ClientServerCore/Rendering/vtkPVClientServerSynchronizedRenderers.cxx, line 170 vtkPVClientServerSynchronizedRenderers (0x1e000f0): Could not create the compressor by name .

Re: [Paraview] default_servers.pvsc question
Burlen/Rick, I am totally open to adding new features/refactoring the pvsc code. It hasn't changed much in a few years, and I am sure we know more than we did when we started with this :). Since you guys are the ones actually using this code in the field, it'd be great if you can identify the feature list of things missing or difficult to do in the current implementation and we can decide which would be best way forward.

Re: [Paraview] MPI-aware reader plugin only has rank 0
I do have multiple installations/builds. However, I don’t know how/if they
could affect the execution of the paraview executable I’m using: both paraview
and pvserver reside in the same (correct) directory on the PATH, and there’s
nothing ParaView-related in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The only other variable I’ve
found is PARAVIEWDIR, which was indeed pointing to an older installation;
however, changing it to my installation did not change anything either.
The only other way I can think of how my installation could be affected is that
the PARAVIEWDIR variable being set to a ParaView 3.x installation during
build/install time and/or that I am using a Python installation in a
non-standard location (specified during configure as follows; the Bash
variables $PV_SRC, $PREFIX and $PYTHON27 are set to valid paths):
CC=gcc CXX=g++ cmake $PV_SRC \
-DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION:BOOL=ON \
-DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=Release \
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=$PREFIX \
-DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_PYTHON:BOOL=ON \

Utkarsh On Tue, Mar 24, 2015 at 2:18 AM, Christian Butcher christian.butc...@oist.jp wrote: Dear ParaView Users, I'm rendering a pseudo-2D data set of approx 7 million cells, running 'mpirun ... pvserver'. I can connect remotely. The cluster does not have graphics cards installed, so I'm using the '--use-offscreen-rendering' flag. The client options for 'Remote Render Threshold' and 'LODThreshold' are both set to 0. On the cluster, I'm currently trying with 48 cores each using 16GB RAM, just in case I was previously using too little. I'm pretty sure this is overkill - certainly the problem seems comparable to when I run it on 8 cores each using 4GB RAM etc. I suspect I'm just not using the software well, or have installed either the client or (more likely?) the cluster's pvserver badly. Both are using 4.2.0, client has version 4.2.0-287-g1631961 64-bit, pvserver returns just 4.2.0 as the version. When changing any aspect of the render view, the client becomes unresponsive/sluggish for long periods of time. This includes, for example, moving the coloring scale bar across the screen. I'm sure I'm missing something obvious (like a step to cut down the requirements on the client workstation, for example). What should I be doing differently? The script I used to start ccmake is below - other options were left at default values (iirc): ccmake \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=RelWithDebInfo \ -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/apps/gnu/openmpi.gcc/1.8.3/bin/mpic++ \ -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/apps/gnu/openmpi.gcc/1.8.3/bin/mpicc \ -DCMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER:FILEPATH=/apps/gnu/openmpi.gcc/1.8.3/bin/mpifort \ -DPARAVIEW_USE_MPI:BOOL=ON \ \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications \ -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/include \ -DBoost_LIBRARY_DIRS:FILEPATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/lib \ \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_QT_GUI:BOOL=OFF \ -DBUILD_TESTING:BOOL=OFF \ -DBUILD_EXAMPLES:BOOL=FALSE \ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS:BOOL=ON \ -DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION:BOOL=OFF \ -DPARAVIEW_INSTALL_DEVELOPMENT_FILES:BOOL=ON \ \ -DPARAVIEW_ENABLE_FFMPEG:BOOL=ON \ -DPARAVIEW_USE_VISITBRIDGE:BOOL=ON \ \ -DVTK_OPENGL_HAS_OSMESA:BOOL=ON \ -DVTK_USE_OFFSCREEN:BOOL=ON \ -DVISIT_BUILD_READER_GMV:BOOL=OFF \ \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_AnalyzeNIfTIIO:BOOL=OFF \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_H5PartReader:BOOL=ON \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_GMVReader:BOOL=FALSE \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_Moments:BOOL=FALSE \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_PacMan:BOOL=FALSE \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SLACTools:BOOL=FALSE \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SciberQuestToolKit:BOOL=FALSE \ -DPARAVIEW_BUILD_PLUGIN_SierraPlotTools:BOOL=FALSE \ \ -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_ZLIB:BOOL=ON \ -DVTK_USE_SYSTEM_EXPAT:BOOL=ON \ -DVTK_USE_X:BOOL=OFF \ \ -DModule_vtkFiltersParallelGeometry=ON \ -DModule_vtkFiltersSMP=ON \ -DModule_vtkFiltersSelection=ON \ -DModule_vtkIOMPIParallel=ON \ -DModule_vtkImagingMath=ON \ -DModule_vtkImagingStatistics=ON \ -DModule_vtkImagingStencil=ON \ \ -DOPENGL_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/include \ -DOPENGL_gl_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/lib/libOSMesa.so \ -DOPENGL_glu_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/lib/libGLU.so \ -DOSMESA_LIBRARY:FILEPATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/lib/libOSMesa.so \ -DOSMESA_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/c/christian-butcher/Applications/include \ $APPS/source/git-sources/ParaView ___ 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 Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview ___ 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 Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] MPI-aware reader plugin only has rank 0
Something's not right with your server. Is it possible you have
multiple ParaView installations/builds on the server side?

What do you get?
When I do not connect to a server, I get the expected output (rank=0,
total=1).
If I do connect to the server, I get the following error (once per rank) from
