[Paraview] Visualizing data from the client computer
Hello all, I have a C++ based application, and I'm using ParaView to do visualization. A key criterion for choosing ParaView was its ability to load data that lives on a remote server. Now I have a different visualization workflow that I need to support: the data all lives locally in memory on the client. Since I'm already using ParaView for other visualization purposes, I'd like to use it for this new workflow as well. So essentially, I have a vtkDataObject sitting in memory on the client. Is there a way to push that data into ParaView? Or should I just use VTK directly on the client? One other question: is any of the new InfoVis stuff in VTK planned on being exposed in ParaView? If not, how hard would it be for me to do this myself?

[Paraview] Problems building 3.8.0 for 64-bit Mac
Hello, I just downloaded the 3.8.0 source and am trying to compile a 64-bit version on Mac OS 10.5. During the build of the pqWidgets target, this error occurs: .../ParaView-3.8.0/Qt/Widgets/pqProgressBarHelper.cxx:37: error: type 'class QObject' is not a direct base of 'pqProgressBarHelper' There seems to be an error in the source. Here's the class declaration in pqProgressBarHelper.h: #ifdef Q_WS_MAC class pqProgressBarHelper : public QWidget #else class pqProgressBarHelper : public QObject #endif But then in the constructor in pqProgressBarHelper.cxx is this: pqProgressBarHelper::pqProgressBarHelper(pqProgressBar* p) : QObject(p), Progress(p) { } Any ideas?

[Paraview] Installing ParaView libraries with my app
Hello all, I have an app that is dependent on ParaView, so I need to install the ParaView libraries along with my application. I am, of course, using CMake and CPack. Is there an easy way to do this, or do I need to call install() for each of the libraries my app depends on?

Re: [Paraview] Building a distributable development tree
Dave, I'm updating now, and I'll let you know how it goes. A related question is how to build the dev tree on Windows. How do I get both debug and release versions of the libraries into one package? Or is it safe to just include the release version? Thanks, Ben Note: I didn't mean to take this discussion off-list, sorry.

Re: [Paraview] Building a distributable development tree
Thanks. I don't care about the pdb files for now. I just want linking and running to work for them when they build debug versions of our app. I guess I'll just tell them to try linking against the release build I'm providing, and if it fails, they'll have to build ParaView themselves. What are you guys planning on shipping for 3.8? Just the release libraries? - Ben On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 2:11 PM, Dave Partyka dave.part...@kitware.com wrote: I don't think you can do both. Specifying -C Release/Debug tells cpack which directory to grab everything out of. Also if you do Debug I don't believe there are install rules to grab the .pdb symbol files. Though, that probably wouldn't be hard to do. On Wed, Apr 7, 2010 at 5:02 PM, Ben Medina ben.med...@gmail.com wrote: Dave, I'm updating now, and I'll let you know how it goes.
