[Paraview] Mac OS issue

[Enoch Yejune Pae]

Hi everyone, 

I am trying to use the mip viewer in paraview.
I tried installing it in two of my mac, but it turns out differently. 
One of my mac uses the El Capitan and my other one uses Sierra. 

Before I compiled the MIP viewer, in Sierra the original volume rendering 
itself works fine except for OSPRay Based one, showing the binary mask in 3D.
However, in the El Capitan OS, the volumetric rendering just comes out as a 
chunk of a 3D box, and cannot see the binary mask of the inner side. 
Anyone else had a similar problem? 

Also, I looked up compiling mip viewer in Paraview, and I found out that I 
should build Paraview from source and modify a little bit in order to do that. 
So I’m keep trying to compile Paraview from Source, but keep failing. 

In my mac OS Sierra, Qt doesn’t even build in the first place.
It’s keep saying that 
'You cannot configure qt separately within a top-level build.’

In my Linux machine, Qt is built fine, but Paraview doesn’t build. 
It keeps returning a message like
'could not find or locate the qt platform plugin minimal.’

I’m looking everywhere to fix this, but cannot find a clue. 

Anyone ever encountered any of these situations?

If you had please give me a hint on how you guys solved it.
Thanks

Best,

Enoch Pae

Re: [Paraview] vtkClipDataSet in a programmable filter

[Xavier Garnaud]

Dear Cory,

Thank you for your help.
In my case, this does not work and I get the following error message:

Traceback (most recent call last):

File "", line 22, in 

File "", line 12, in RequestData

TypeError: SetInputData argument 1: method requires a VTK object

Maybe it is related to the fact that when I create the first programmable
filter, I get this error message:
[image: Inline image 1]

I use Paraview 5.4.1 on windows (I get the same behavior with Paraview
5.3.0)

Best regards,

Xavier

Re: [Paraview] Compute quartile from cell data

[Paraview] Compute quartile from cell data

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

If I use a "compute quartile" filter on a data object that is an
unstructured grid with only cell data I do not seem to see any output data:
Is this a bug or a feature?

If I convert to point data first I can see something, or if I load the same
data just as a plain table it works as well, but it does not work on the
cell data.

One possible logic not to allow this function for cell data could be the
fact that cells can have very different size, so any statistics that works
on number of cells might not seem appropriate. However, I can easily
generate a histogram...

[Paraview] Visualization of time course data with legacy vtk format

[James Thunes]

Hello all,

Sometime between v5.1 and the latest version (v.5.4.1) the handling of
legacy vtk files changed.

I use paraview to visualize FE data that I've written in the legacy vtk
format. Data is written with a separate file for each time step. The naming
convention is: File.vtk with  the step number.

When I click the open dialog with the latest version, I no longer see the
files grouped as a file series (as described in this page from the
wiki: Animating
legacy VTK file series
).

Is this new behavior expected, and if so, is there an alternative way to
visualize time series data?

Thanks,
James

Re: [Paraview] vtkClipDataSet in a programmable filter

[Cory Quammen]

This works for me in 5.4.1:

import vtk

plane = vtk.vtkPlane()
plane.SetOrigin(0, 0, 0)
plane.SetNormal(0, 1, 0)

clip = vtk.vtkClipDataSet()
clip.SetClipFunction(plane)
clip.SetInputData(self.GetInput())
clip.Update()

self.GetOutput().DeepCopy(clip.GetOutput())

Make sure you set the "Output Data Set Type" to "vtkUnstructuredGrid"
before you first hit Apply. I believe there is a bug that does not let
you change the output data set type after you first click Apply.

HTH,
Cory

[Paraview] Catalyst visualization not rendering without me clicking on the screen

[A .]

Dear community,


Whenever I am trying to visualize something live (i.e. with Catalyst), the 
rendering view is not being updated unless I pan over the view with my mouse.


I noticed that automatic rendering happens when I am dealing with a larger 
dataset. There seems to be some kind of a threshold for when to update the 
rendering view, based on the data size (or based on the amount of change in 
data).


I tried increasing the CoProcessor frequency 
(coprocessor.SetUpdateFrequencies(freqs)), and also the 
EnableLiveVisualization(True, freq), but it didn't help.


Anyone has a solution for this?

Best,

Jimmy

As far as I know, no such a setting is not available in ParaView

[Paraview] vtkClipDataSet in a programmable filter

Dear all,

I'd like to use the vtkClipDataSet in a programmable filter, but I can't
find it it paraview.vtk, and the function from vtk does not seem to work.
(I am using Paraview 5.2 or 5.4 on windows).
Is the function available, or is there another way to perform the clip?

Re: [Paraview] Uncomplete display of large unstructured grid

[Cornelis Bockemühl]

Let me add a possible answer: Do you think it might be worthwile to try
compiling Paraview with Mesa on Windows (version 7)? As it seems that
the "native" OpenGL support is not really stable with the latest driver
- is there a chance that going through Mesa 3D would improve the
situation? Or is it even impossible, so I should better not even bother
trying?

Thanks for any helpful hint!

I mean: It is possible to do some limited working with a "ticklish
software" that tends to crash regularly (first of all: always save
everything immediately!), but it is not really so much fun...

Regards,

Cornelis

[Paraview] 3D structured grid

[Muhammad Kashif Saeed]

Hi everyone,

Can you tell me that by using structured grid can I get the data from each
cell of the grid from already completed simulation by using DEM technique?

I have attached a picture of my simulation in which different particles are
mixed each other. I want to calculate the mixing index to evaluate the
mixing condition. I want to use subdomain mixing index for that purpose I
have to divide this simulation into the number of subdomains to find the
mixing index.

Please let me know how can I create these subdomains in ParaView?
are the 3D structured grid of required size can be used for that purpose?

Regards
