Re: [Paraview] ParaView 5.2 Release Candidate 1 available for download

[Gena Bug via ParaView]

Hi!

I've just tried the 5.2rc and noticed this in the console:

$ Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 
72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig error: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 
72: non-double matrix element
Fontconfig warning: "/etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf", line 
80: saw unknown, expected number


And a fontconfig folder is created in the run directory with a bunch of 
cache-files.


$ cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/10-scale-bitmap-fonts.conf:

Not sure this is the problem of PV but it's not happening with 5.1.2

[Paraview] How to use the plugin Geodesic Measurement

[Salazar De Troya, Miguel]

Hello

I loaded the Geodesic Measurement plugin with the Plugin Manager, but I do not 
know how to use it. I see it as a filter option, but it is disabled even for 
point-based data. I haven’t been able to find an example either. I am 
interested in finding the shortest path between two points in a surface.

Thanks
MIguel

b)Use the configuration option paraview_FROM_GIT:BOOL=ON to check out the 
latest paraview sources (which will be 5.2.0 RC1)
Almost.  Setting paraview_FROM_GIT=ON will use the latest paraview sources 
which is the git master branch and a few commits ahead of RC1.  The sb has been 
updated to use the RC1 source tarball so if you set paraview_FROM_GIT=OFF then 
you'll get the source for 5.2.0-RC1.  So FROM_GIT=OFF gives you 5.2.0-RC1 and 
FROM_GIT=On gives you whatever is in master, which right now is 
"v5.2.0-RC1-7-g52f2ad6" which means 7 commits past RC1.

[Paraview] 3D with Nvidia glasses

[Gao]

Hi all,

I am trying to make the stereo 3D working on Paraview but it doesn't 
work. I don't know what is the problem.


I got NVIDIA 3D VISION 2 glasses and set it up on my Windows 10 PC. 
Installed the driver for the QUADRO 4000 card. Tested with the Nvidia 
Control Panel (version  8.1.1030.0) and the I can see the 3D demo 
through the glasses.


Then I downloaded a sample vtk file from here:

http://www.subdude-site.com/WebPages_Local/RefInfo/Computer/Linux/LinuxGuidesByBlaze/apps3Dtools/3D_viewers-converters/3Dtestfiles/vtk/rbc_001.vtk

I changed some setting on Nvidia Control Panel:
Manage 3D setting:
 Stereo - Display mode : Generic active stereo (with NVIDIA 3D Vision)
 Stereo -Enable: On
 Stereo -Swap eyes: Off

Now I run paraview with：
paraview.exe --stereo --stereo-type="Crystal Eyes"

Then I open the vtk file I downloaded. I don't see 3D, and the image is 
flickering. But the emitter green light is ON.


Can someone help me to get this 3D display going?

Thanks.

Gao

It might be known in the mailing list. But it is not written in the wiki

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Vector_Graphics_Export

or in the Guide. So I don't think that it was that obvious.

Thanks for the reply, I will update it in my office as well then.

Re: [Paraview] Can't export to vector graphics in ParaView 5.0

[David Lonie]

The GL2PS library that we use to generate the vector exports didn't support
our new rendering backend, so there was a brief period of time where
VTK/ParaView applications using the OpenGL2 backend had to have the vector
graphics export disabled. This included the 5.0 release. Since then we've
modified GL2PS to work around some of these issues and new versions of
ParaView have restored support for it.

HTH,
Dave

Re: [Paraview] Can't export to vector graphics in ParaView 5.0

Yes that is known.

SVG output was temporarily lost in the initial transition to OpenGL"2"
rendering back around 5.0.
I think it returned before 5.1.

Note also that if you built 5.0 from source but choose the OpenGL"1"
backend instead of the then newly default OpenGL"2" you would also have it.

Re: [Paraview] Building ParaView v5.1.2 on Linux from source with support for GPU and SWR.

[Chuck Atkins]

Hi Frank,

I tracked down the problem.  The way the superbuild was calling ./configure
for mesa was causing the default -O2 flags set by mesa's ./configure to get
dropped, thus resulting in an unoptimized mesa build.  I just merged a fix
for both issues into the superbuild.

Hi Chenz,

reading/writing your dataset?

[Paraview] bug report: xdmf AttributeType handling error

[Chen Zhang]

Hi, 

I recently noticed a strange error in xdmf reading. If a multi-demension array 
(e.g. 32x32x32x24 ) is exported to Xdmf format by paraview, it will generate 
something like this:


  test.h5:/Block_0_t00/Cell/resistance_slip
 

Although the original data is a 24 length vector for each cell, Paraview is 
only interpolating it as a simple scalar, thus break the data structure. This 
error can not be resolved by manually switching AttributeType to “Matrix”, 
which indicates the “Matrix” type of support is somehow missing at the moment.

I am currently running the Paraview 5.2.0-RC1 on a MacBook pro (mid 2012) 
running macOS Sierra. 

cheers, 
Chenz

Re: [Paraview] create a time sequence from a steady-state vector

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Using "Programmable Source" or "Prorgammable Filter" may be the best
approach. Chapter 13 in the ParaView Guide covers a great deal of how
programmable filter/source work. Give it a quick read and let me know
if you need any assistance.

[Paraview] What is LIBPROJ_USE_THREAD for?

[SeongMo Yeon]

I am working on RHEL 6 and pthread is installed in /usr/lib and /usr/lib64.

for Paraview 5.1.2, cmake complains it cannot find thread with 
LIBPROJ_USE_THREAD ON and failed configurgation.


After LIBPROJ_USE_THREAD OFF, configuration is finished with success.

I want to know what LIBPROJ_USE_THREAD is for and if paraview can work 
with OpenMP or TBB with LIBPROJ_USE_THREAD OFF



Thanks in advance.

Re: [Paraview] Differences between OpenGL and OpenGL2 versions of ParaView

[Adam Lyon]

Hi Ken - Wow - that's awesome! Thanks very much! If I build ParaView from
the master branch of GitLab, will I get these changes? If so, I can try it
and let you know what I see. Thanks again! -- Adam

Re: [Paraview] [Paraview-developers] ParaView 5.2 Release Candidate 1 available for download

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Folks,

Among several new features, this release includes anti-aliasing
support [1]. Currently, it's off by default. I'd encourage all testers
and early adopters to turn it on and report any issues you notice. If
we don't hear of any major obstacles, we would anti-aliasing on my
default in the final release (or subsequent RCs)

Re: [Paraview] Differences between OpenGL and OpenGL2 versions of ParaView

Adam,

You should be able to use the latest 5.2-RC1 binaries to test Ken's
performance improvements out.

Re: [Paraview] Differences between OpenGL and OpenGL2 versions of ParaView

[Ken Martin]

I finally did get around to this issue and have completely reworked the
CompositePolyDataMapper2 for the OpenGL2 backend. Now there is only the
fast path and your original dataset ***should*** render quickly with
OpenGL2. These changes were merged into VTK last week and hopefully most of
the kinks have been worked out. In terms of benchmarks I did some testing
and with the recent changes I made these are the numbers I am seeing for
six different test cases on an nvidia based laptop GPU.

Thanks!
Ken


OpenGL1 versus 2 CompositePolyDataMapper2
OpenGL1 New OpenGL2 Improvement
Test First Average Frame Rate First Average Frame Rate First Average
MixedGeometryCellScalars 3.75 0.319 3.1 0.11 0.0131 76.3 3409% 2435%
CellScalars 0.3 0.0433 23.1 0.094 0.002 500.0 319% 2165%
Scalars 0.4 0.0394 25.4 0.083 0.001875 533.3 482% 2101%

 Hi Ken - thanks for your reply. It's looking like the last approach - I
 figure out why I'm getting different blocks - is the way to go.

[Paraview] create a time sequence from a steady-state vector

[Juan Carlos Araujo Cabarcas]

Hi, I have been working with eigenstates of the wave equation and I would
like to make
videos of a time evolution. I have vectors of the form u(x,y) and I want to
simply compute:

Y(x,y,t) = u(x,y)*cos(t), for various values of t. (or any other function
of t)

The naĩve way of doing this (which is very expensive) is to compute
Y1(x,y,t1), Y2(x,y,t2), ... Yn(x,y,tn) and add them into the final .vtk
file by adding the time in the vector label.

The vector u(x,y) is around 5 Mb, then by adding 100 time steps it becomes
a very big file!

I guess that it should be possible to do the same in a clever way by using
u(x,y) and passing the operation u(x,y)*cos(t) to paraview in order to
obtain the evolution/movie, but I have not been able to see how to do this
in the manual or email list.

Any thoughts? ... I would like this idea to work in both, the desktop and
web-based versions of paraview.

Kind regards,

Juan Carlos Araújo-Cabarcas.
