Re: [Paraview] eps outputting in paraview
Hi Zuoguang, Try unchecking the checkbox Interpolate Scalars Before Mapping in the Properties tab before exporting to EPS. (It is an advanced property, either search for its name or toggle the wheel next to the search box to have it show up.) Sven 付作光 schrieb am 09.05.2015 um 05:37: Dear Dave, Thanks for your suggestion; I should firstly say sorry for giving an ambiguous description of PS, now here, the PS stands for Photoshop. Secondly, I have tested another many times for outputting eps, you are very right, choosing ‘Rasterize 3D Geometry’ when writing the eps files perhaps the only way to record the color map while no choosing may lead to an automatic transformation from the color to grey-scale ones. But I think this is not a real vector graphics formats since the pixel of it is a constant when the dpi is to be changed. So, recording the color map in tiff format with desired pixel and proper size is the best choice.

Re: [Paraview] CleantoGrid tolerance parameter for merging points
Hi Patrick, Patrick Brockmann schrieb am 26.04.2015 um 19:17: Hi, I like to see some points of an untsructured grid be merged ? Some points have coordinates equal to 1E-14, others 0. When applying the CleantoGrid filter there is no entries to specify a tolerance parameter. Internally, the filter relies since 2005 on vtkMergePoints which merges points with coinciding coordinates. There is no room for a tolerance parameter in that class. Previously, vtkPointLocator was used which allowed to specify a tolerance. Am I missing something or the only way to do this today is to apply a Calculator filter before with some new coordinates results as: ceil(coordsX*1000)/1000*iHat + ceil(coordsY*1000)/1000*jHat + ceil(coordsZ*1000)/1000*kHat It works but I would have prefered this kind of setting available from the CleantoGrid filter. I have digged a similar question in 2007 http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2007-May/004914.html Let me know if I should put a request on this missing feature on the paraview bug tracker or just live with it. A few years back when I faced this challenge myself for the first time, I wrote a small plugin subclassing vtkCleanUnstructuredGrid that uses vtkPointLocator internally and allows to specify a tolerance parameter. Let me know if you are interested.

Re: [Paraview] compiled superquadric tensor glyph plugin for Win7
Hi Constantin, I wrote said plugin originally and added it to the wiki a few years ago. The last version I compiled for Windows 7 was for ParaView 3.14.1 32bit. Not sure whether that build would be suitable for you. Especially since the implementation of the algorithm is now faster and a few small bugs have been ironed out. It could help you decide, though, whether it is worth going through the trouble of compiling the entire tool chain yourself.

Search the archive for a thread called Hardware suggestions for volume rendering. A quick summary: The performance depends on the type of dataset you have, i.e. structured grids (even up to 70M grid points) will render decently fast on a single Nvidia Quadro K2100M GPU, but unstructured grids are very slow already for much smaller grids. You can test this by using the wavelet source, which gives you a arability sized structured dataset. -Armin On 05/11/2015 04:15 PM, Ufuk Utku Turuncoglu (BE) wrote: Hi All, My question could be very basic but how to be sure that Paraview uses installed graphics card (in my case Nvidia K2000)?

Re: [Paraview] to be sure about used hardware ...
Is out of box ParaView binary could use full capability of hardware or not? ParaVIew binaries don't ship with any OpenGL implementation. It uses whatever OpenGL drivers setup on the machine it's being run. So long as your environment is setup properly, ParaView will indeed use the hardware available. However, not all rendering techniques in ParaView will use the graphics card -- as Armin alluded to. Your dataset seems like small enough that volume rendering should be pretty instantaneous. What is the Volume Rendering Mode on the Properties panel set to? It should be Smart by default -- that will ensure that the graphics card is used, if possible.

Are they installed in different folders? If yes, you could set PATH environment variable to point the directory that has paraview command. If you looking for a system wide solution then you could create small shell script under /etc/profile.d (for CentOS but it must be similar in Ubuntu) to automatically set PATH environment variable. --ufuk On 11/05/15 17:00, Stanbridge, Christopher William wrote: Dear ParaViewers, I have recently used the instructions from the ParaView Wiki to download ParaView (presumably its most recent version, 4.3.1) and build it with OSMesa.

I can reproduce this in the VTKData example file: m4_TotalDensity.cube. This would be for the Output portion of the pipeline. The data ranges are uninteresting, but they should work. The atoms do show up as Point Data. I can even show them in a table, and if I select them, the selected magenta points do show up in the 3D RenderView. But, I cannot display them as rendered (and therefore cannot colormap) points. I CAN Glyph the atoms in m4_TotalDensity.cube. For my user's data, the Glyph filter outputs zero information. Although the data looks reasonably similar. Is this a bug, or am I missing a filter for this sort of data?

Re: [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Paraview stops rendering after a while
Not sure if I understand perfectly - your input to Paraview is a series of 2d slices (i.e., images)? Could you just take one slice, and replicate it a few thousand times? I.e., could you just give Kitware that one slice, and then instruct them to replicate it a few thousand times?

I have no problems sharing the dataset and the script...it is quite large though - probably 10-15 G compressed. I will see what I can do to get a reduced data-set. Alternatively, how can I set up a debug run so that a trace can be sent to you? Meanwhile, I think that Version 4.0.0-RC2 doesn't have this issue as I managed to do the complete animation - I'll confirm again with a few more tests but it came out ok. I've copied Martin Larcher on this since he mentions the same problem in an earlier post to the mailing list and this may be of use to him. Cheers, Sandeep.

Message-ID: 551d1614.50...@jrc.ec.europa.eu Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252; format=flowed Dear all, I have the same problem since some weeks. When I try to create a longer animation the rendering stops after about 100 steps and the same view is shown by changing the time (using vtu files). Sandeep's error description sounds very similar. I'm using only standard filters, perhaps Contour is quite expensive. And perhaps my models are slightly bigger (about 1.6 million cells and a similar number of points). Some further remarks: I get the problem when I do the playback or even when I create an animation. I do not get the problem when I'm using no filters (except the read filter). If I remove after the occurrence of the error the Contour filter, there seems to be a layer over the output. During turning the model I can see it, when I release the mouse it disappears... Any idea?
