[Paraview] XDMF Version 2 and 3 Differences

[Michael Jackson]

Where might I find the differences between XDMF version 2 and 3? Our project 
writes a .xdmf file along side our HDF5 file so that ParaView can visualize the 
data. Ever since ParaView version 5.x was released with the XDMF 3 included we 
always have to select the "XDMF Writer" when opening the file. If we select the 
either of the XDMF 3 writers no data is loaded. I was wanting to figure out if 
there is something we need to adjust in our XDMF files so that the XDMF 3 
readers work correctly with our data/files.

Thanks

Re: [Paraview] Color Map Editor garbled display on macOS

[Michael Jackson]

Follow up: Same machine running macOS 10.12.x (Sierra) does NOT show the 
problem. So something odd with the macOS 10.10 (Yosemite) AMD Driver is my 
guess.

Re: [Paraview] Dropping Qt 4 support from ParaView 5.5 onwards

[Michael Jackson]

+1.
 Also I would vote to jump all the way to Qt 5.9 since it is a LTS 
release and you can stabilize on Qt 5.9 for the next 3 years at least 
where as Qt 5.6 is only supported in a security bug fix from here on for 
another 2 years. I don't think Qt is going to add support for newer 
operating systems so if something breaks on newer releases of macOS or 
Windows Qt made it sound like they would not fix Qt 5.6

Folks,

Continuing with dropping of support for legacy components, I wanted to
raise the question of dropping support for Qt older than 5.6 starting
with ParaView 5.5 (planned for Nov 2017).

Qt 5.6 has been out since March 2016 and is a LTS release. Qt 4 is no
longer maintained and does not support newer macOS versions, Windows 10
or retina displays. Supporting Qt 4 and 5 together is not only causing
code complexity, but also straining our testing resources.

If there are strong reasons to continue supporting Qt 4 beyond the
upcoming ParaView 5.4 release, please make us aware before June 30,
2017. One can always use older versions of ParaView, if required.

Re: [Paraview] Applying a texture to a sphere

[Michael Jackson]

Thank you. That did the trick. I was able to apple the image as a 
texture to a sphere. So many options in the properties panel I was just 
not seeing the specific option that I needed. Forgot about the search 
panel. Duh.


That image got me pretty close to what I wanted, now to figure out how 
to generate actual texture coordinates, or color a sphere via each cell.


Thanks for the help

Don't load the texture as a data set.

Try this:
Sources->Sphere
Filters->Texture Map to Sphere
Properties Tab->Search ("Texture")
Under miscellaneous choose Load and navigate to your image.

The problem shown in the attached result is that the UV coordinates on
the sphere don't seem to map well to your projection. If you can define
that you can then create the texture coordinates in the Programmable
filter instead of the Texture Map to Sphere filter.

Unsure what you mean by this projection. Depending on what the
layout it
might be hard or easy to assign U/V coordinates that pick the right
pixel for each location on the surface of the sphere.

 I have the image as a .png. Is it possible to load that
image and
 texture map it back to a sphere in ParaView?


There is a texture map to sphere filter which creates U/V
coordinates on
a data set. Once the data has U/V coordinates, you can load and
apply a
texture from the Display section of the Properties panel.

Re: [Paraview] Best way to make a code's output Paraview-ready

[Michael Jackson]

For our project (http://www.github.com/bluequartzsoftware/simpl) we 
write .xdmf files that reference the hdf5 files that we natively write. 
We just rolled our own XDMF writer as it is just xml and we knew which 
of our datasets we wanted to expose in the XDMF file. The docs for the 
xdmf format are pretty light, especially when you want to hyperslab a 
dataset, but you can get through it.


Just my 2 cents.

Hi all,

I am part of a development team for a scientific code, and we would
like to make our code's output readable by Paraview. Unfortunately,
there is no reasonable way we could have our code directly output to
VTK formats for various reasons (performance, memory, etc.).
Currently, the outputs are in HDF5 and have various structures: 1D to
3D vector fields, 1D to 3D scalar fields, and particle lists.

Being new to Paraview and  VTK, I have found three options for making
our results usable:
1) Write .xmf files that maps each of our individual pieces of data,
so that the XDMF reader can import them.
2) Write a plugin that will convert the HDF5 files to VTK files and read.
3) Use Programmable Sources that extract the HDF5 data directly to VTK elements.

Which one would you recommend? What are their qualities, especially in
terms of versatility and stability? In addition, are they particularly
hard to learn?

Cheers
Fred

[Paraview] How to apply different color maps to different datasets.

[Michael Jackson]

I would like to load up 2 different files and then display one using a 
gray scale color map and the other a simple RGB color map and some 
transparency so that I can "overlay" one image onto the other. It would 
seem that when I apply a color map to one data set it applies to all the 
data sets. How can I change this behavior?

We're now using a newer fontconfig, so the fontconfig may be newer than
your system, so this is just fontconfig being more pedantic than your
distro. Looking at fontconfig, there's no environment variable to
suppress these warnings.


However, that all -- no more new folder "fontconfig" in the running

Also, lib-dynload is still missing in the lib/python2.7

Ah, the superbuild didn't get bumped for that fix yet. I'll do that

Richard,
   You will get this warning/error message on any OS X machine using 
ATI/AMD graphics hardware running OS X 10.10 or earlier. OS X 10.11

I have the following message from one of my local ParaView users:

Following is the message I am getting with the Paraview 5 client on 
the Mac. It appears to work in spite of this warning.


Warning: In 
/Users/kitware/buildbot-slave/paraview-bigmac-osx-shared-release_opengl2_osx10_7_qt4_superbuild/build/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/Rendering/OpenGL2/vtkOpenGLPolyDataMapper.cxx, 
line 2856
vtkCompositeMapperHelper (0x7fbc4b0e7800): VTK is working around a bug 
in Apple-AMD hardware related to gl_PrimitiveID.  This may cause 
significant memory and performance impacts. Your hardware has been 
identified as vendor ATI Technologies Inc. with renderer of ATI Radeon 
HD 5770 OpenGL Engine and version 4.1 ATI-1.24.39


About this Mac has the following information about my system:
*Graphics*  ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB


The user does not see this error running ParaView 4.x.x … 
so – presumably this warning message is related to OpenGL2 running on 
an older graphics card???Is this something we should be worried 
about in the short-term?  I’m not sure how much longer this older Mac 
will be in service – but will we run in to issues with OpenGL2 which 
will preclude it from working on these older systems?

[Paraview] Memory use with Xdmf files

[Michael Jackson]

I have written an Xdmf file that uses the 3D CoRectMesh to display a
montage of 54 gray scale images. They are laid out in a 9x6 fashion. Each
Image is about 1292x968 pixels. We have run stitching algorithms on the
images to find their correct coordinates in XYZ space so that they will
form the montage correctly.

The raw amount of memory is 67,535,424 bytes. If that has to be as RGBA for
rendering then it is 270,141,696 bytes.

Then ParaView has to create a "cell" for each pixel and then some other
stuff. At one point ParaView spiked to 120GB of RAM and then fell back to
about 36GB of RAM. This seems a bit excessive to me. This is with ParaView
4.3.1 on a Windows 8.1 workstation. Am I doing something wrong? Just seems
like a lot of memory.

Are their alternate ways of writing the Xdmf file so that each image is a
single cell perhaps?

Thanks for any insights.

I can make the data set available to anyone who needs it.

Compelling? No, But it just means that you are one version back already. Out of 
curiosity, what all is involved in bringing in HDF5?

THanks for the update. Just FYI, they just released 1.8.14 a few weeks back. 
Any chances of just jumping to that version?

Re: [Paraview] [off-toppic] binary stl output of paraview

[Michael Jackson]

The STL File format can be either ASCII or Binary. ParaView is exporting a 
binary file. ParaView _may_ offer the option to write out an ASCII file. Looks 
like Ghex software can only read an ASCII STL file.

Re: [Paraview] Data set Size limit in ParaView/HDF5

[Michael Jackson]

Not recent enough. I think that was the version where I found the bug for 
Darwin systems which limited it to 4GB data sets. That version is also about 
2-3 years old. HDF5 1.8.13 is the latest. 1.8.14 is coming out in few weeks.

Mike Jackson

PS: We are just trying to get everyone to build ParaView on their systems. The 
issue with the SuperBuild is that you can not seem to set an "external" hdf5 
build. It will always use the bundled version.

Re: [Paraview] Data set Size limit in ParaView/HDF5

[Michael Jackson]

I was trying to directly update the source codes then compile my own. That 
didn't work. I was able to build ParaView 4.2.0 against my installed HDF5 
(1.8.13) and have it create the package in the /Applications BUT not all the 
libraries got "fixed up". The Qt libraries and my HDF5 libraries did not get 
their "install_name" fixed. 

Do I need to build from the "SuperBuild" to actually create a new package I can 
give to my employees?

Re: [Paraview] Data set Size limit in ParaView/HDF5

[Michael Jackson]

Thanks for getting the bug report in. I was poking around the ParaView source 
and it does not look straight forward at all to substitute in a prebuilt HDF5 
library (system hdf5). I can not even find the CMake Variables that might let 
me do this. I tried so simply substitute the latest stable HDF5 into the source 
tree but as I figured CMake threw lots of errors. If you give me a gentle nudge 
I might be able to help a bit. We are really being held back by this with our 
current data sets.

[Paraview] Data set Size limit in ParaView/HDF5

[Michael Jackson]

The current version of ParaView (4.2.1) uses a fairly old version of HDF5 (API 
version 1.8.9). This version has a nasty bug on OS X that will not allow HDF5 
to read a data set that is larger than 4GB (2^32). This is due to a bug in the 
configuration process that incorrectly identifies a "size_t" as being unsigned 
32 bit integer on Darwin instead of a 64 bit unsigned integer. What is the 
possibility of getting a newer HDF5 included in ParaView for the next release?

BTW. a new release of HDF5 is coming in a few weeks. This would make a great 
opportunity to get this fixed with the latest version of HDF5.

Thanks

[Paraview] Animating over MultiBlock data set

[Michael Jackson]

I am writing an Xdmf file with 75 "Grids" where each grid represents a time 
step from a simulation. When I read it into ParaView it shows 75 Blocks. I can 
load each one at a time and I get the expected output. What is the magic to 
animating over a multi-block data set. Each block has the same exact set of 
Data arrays.

Ideas?

Re: [Paraview] [ParaView] Unofficial ParaView 4.1.0 SDK for Windows 32 and 64-bit

[Michael Jackson]

The only 64 bit Qt 5.x binaries are for VS2013 if you plan on supporting 64 bit 
paraview by using the prebuilt Qt Binaries. So my vote would be for the 
newest/latest compiler if possible.

 Hi Utkarsh,
 
 I think it does implement MPI2. At least my codes make heavy use of MPI 2
 and it works fine. However, I'll look into it and report back.
 
 Microsoft's documentation says:
 
 You may also redistribute this MS-MPI installation package with your own
 applications, to facilitate having an application that can run on a
 stand-alone workstation and easily take advantage of an HPC Pack 2012
 R2-based cluster. Please refer to the license agreement for additional
 details.
 
 
 Sounds like if you use an installer it could handle the dependency.

 That is correct. That's  precisely why we've stuck with 1.4.4. I spent
 a lot of time trying to packing 1.6.* on Windows to no success and
 then decided to just stick with 1.4.4.
 
 Problem is that the source code for the current MS-MPI builds does not
 seem
 to be publicly available,
 
 The problem with using MS-MPI is two fold:
 1. I can't remember if its support MPIv2 API. I don't think so, but I
 may be wrong.
 2. The license (at least when I checked) doesn't allow us to packing
 the dlls in our binaries. In other words, we would always have to have
 the user manually install using the installer distributed by MS.

Re: [Paraview] [Xdmf] XDMF Cell attribute type of Matrix, How to use.

[Michael Jackson]

(cross posting. Not sure if this is an 
Seems pretty odd that the XDMF API would not add a "Dimensions" attribute like 
they do for a hyper slab.

For example here is our HyperSlab example:


  

  00
  11
  993654 1 



CubicSingleEquiaxedOut.dream3d:/SurfaceMeshDataContainer/FACE_DATA/SurfaceMeshFaceLabels

  


So I would have thought that for a "Matrix" there would be the same thing.

 
 
fort.13.h5:Data8
  

Any of the XDMF Developers have any thoughts? ParaView Developers any thoughts?

Thanks

[Paraview] XDMF Cell attribute type of Matrix, How to use.

[Michael Jackson]

We are generating Xdmf files alongside our HDF5 files in order to allow 
ParaView to visualize our files. For the most part we generate a 3DCoRectMesh 
type and put in all of our Attributes. So the first part of the xdmf file is:




  
  0 0 0
  
  0.25 0.25 0.25


but some of our data is not the "standard" Vector or Tensor data but possible 
an MxN matrix which is allowable under XDMF:


  
Cleaned 3D.dream3d:/VoxelDataContainer/CELL_DATA/Kikuchi_Patterns
  


According to the XDMF web page:
Attribute
The Attribute element defines values associated with the mesh. Currently the 
supported types of values are :
• Scalar
• Vector
• Tensor - 9 values expected
• Tensor6 - a symmetrical tensor
• Matrix - an arbitrary NxM matrix

How do I go about specifying the "MxN" part? Is that inherit in the dimensions? 
Do I specify it with another "Data" tag somehow?

Thanks for any help

[Paraview] VRML File crashing ParaView 4.1

The following VRML file crashes ParaView 4.1 on OS X.

coord USE MYPOINTS
coordIndex [

I was trying to write some VRML exporters for some custom codes and using 
ParaView to view the output. After a lot of failures I started seeking out 
examples on the internet. This file is supposedly valid but will crash 
ParaView. Can anyone either confirm this or point out the issues with the file?

[Paraview] Changing the quick camera view tool buttons

[Michael Jackson]

Up on the toolbar there are a set of 6 buttons to set the camera view quickly 
(+-x, +-Y, +-Z). Is there a way to change what those do? Currently the -Z 
button puts the orientation like this:

^ Y
|
|
|
+--> X

With Z coming out of the screen

The views into the data I really need (to match up some other data in another 
program) is 

+-> X
|
|
|
Y
with +Z pointing into the the screen.

Is there a way to change this? Without compiling paraview from source? I know I 
can simply use the mouse to rotate but it is nearly impossible to get the Z 
axis exactly orthogonal to my screen.

[Paraview] ParaView 4.0.1 Glyph results different between OS X and Windows

[Michael Jackson]

I have a surface mesh that I am reading through an XDMF file. After reading I 
apply a threshold and then a glyph filter to show cubes at each point. The 
SurfaceMesh is a "3D" volume and the result from OS X is exactly what I would 
expect. The result in windows is however not correct at all from the looks of 
it. The windows version seems to be only getting data from the first 1% in the 
Z Direction. I posted a pair of images that show the issue.

OS X result:
http://www.bluequartz.net/binaries/OSX_401.png

Windows Result:
http://www.bluequartz.net/binaries/Windows_401.png

Has anyone ever seen this type of behavior? I can also provide the XDMF and 
HDF5 files if they are needed.

Yes, that clarifies things but if 3.98.1 runs on 10.6.8 up through 10.8.3 then 
and the library loading was corrected in the 3.98.1 version why is the 3.98.0

So maybe a warning for the 3.98.0 release posted on the web page that they are

both 3.98 and 3.98.1? What is the difference between them?

Re: [Paraview] Where did the "Map Scalars" and "Interpolate Scalars" options go in 3.98?

[Michael Jackson]

Thanks. I had not really started exploring the UI too much. I just went with 
muscle memory and when that failed evidently my brain stopped working. Thanks 
for the help

[Paraview] Where did the "Map Scalars" and "Interpolate Scalars" options go in 3.98?

[Michael Jackson]

I just tried ParaView 3.98.1 on OS X and the data I write out has a 3 component 
uint 8 bit values that represent the RGB colors for the cell (Structured Grid). 
In ParaView 3.14.1 I would load the data (via Xdmf) and then do to the 
"Display" tab and uncheck the  "Map Scalars" and "Interpolate Scalars" 
checkboxes and get the colors that I want. How do I now do this in 3.98.1?

Thanks.

Re: [Paraview] Filtering Triangle Data based on single value of 2 component vector

[Michael Jackson]

Just to follow up I figured out how to do this with Xdmf:




   0 0 1 1 23403757 1 


  

test.dream3d:/SurfaceMeshDataContainer/FACE_DATA/SurfaceMeshTriangleLabels
  





   0 1 1 1 23403757 1 


  

test.dream3d:/SurfaceMeshDataContainer/FACE_DATA/SurfaceMeshTriangleLabels
  



The original array is a (23403757 x 2) (rows x cols) array. Using the above 
Hyperslab attributes I can get a pair of arrays. Then in ParaView I can run 2 
"Threshold" filters on the value that I want and then Append the resulting data 
sets together. This gives the visualization that I am looking for.

Hope it helps someone.

[Paraview] Filtering Triangle Data based on single value of 2 component vector

[Michael Jackson]

We are generating a mesh where each Triangle has a pair of "Grain Id" values 
associated with it. We store the values as a 2 component vector (which Xdmf 
doesn't seem to like). The idea being that we want to be able to extract out 
all triangles where EITHER one of the 2 values match an input value.

Is something like this even possible with ParaView's built in filters? What 
happens if I write out a 3 component vector (a dummy value in the 3rd slot)? 
Does that make it possible?

 What if I split up the 2 Component vector into a Pair of Arrays? I guess at 
that point I would just run the same threshold 2, once on each array then merge 
the results? 

Ideas or thoughts are much appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView 3.98.x superbuild: hdf5 run time errors

[Michael Jackson]

Some of this I can explain, I think. 

2 Versions of HDF5. The actual version of HDF5 is 1.8.9 and the "library" 
version is the 7.3.0. If I remember correctly the way things work with HDF5 is 
that there should have been a bunch of symlinks that all finally link back to 
the libhdf5.1.8.9.dylib library.

The issue with the dylib not loading is because most likely there is an issue 
with the superbuild not looking in enough directories to properly find the hdf5 
library and "fixing it up" to have the proper embedded path.

I am not sure of the proper fix for #2.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView VTK Legacy File Questions

[Michael Jackson]

When you say "comments" are you just wanting some comments in your data file? 
or do you want these comments to be rendered/available inside paraview? If the 
first is what you want (just a way to demark the sections of data) then the XML 
based vtk files are standard XML so you can use the XML style comments:



If that does NOT work then Vtk/ParaView is not implementing a standard XML 
reader.

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll take that into consideration when trying to 
figure out what is going wrong. Now on to see if XDMF will allow me to display 
my data with my chosen set of colors.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView VTK Legacy File Questions

[Michael Jackson]

The only comment in a vtk legacy file is allowed on the second line of the file 
and must be 255 chars or less.

As for the vectors, if you are creating POINT_DATA then you MUST include data 
for each of the points, whether or not you actually have any data there to 
represent. 

 You may have to write 3 sets of POINT_DATA, one for each of Tangent, Binormal 
and Normal. You might be able to put a (0,0,0) as the vector to basically not 
have it show up but I am not sure if that would work or not.

Try this:

# vtk DataFile Version 1.0
3D Crack Modeling
ASCII
DATASET POLYDATA

POINTS 4 float
0.0 0.0 5.0
1.0 0.0 5.0
0.0 1.0 5.0
1.0 1.0 5.0

POLYGONS 2 8
3 0 1 2
3 1 3 2

LINES 2 6
2 0 1
2 2 3

POINT_DATA 4
SCALARS node_numbering int 1
LOOKUP_TABLE default
0
2
4
6

VECTORS Binormal float
0 1 0
0 1 0
0 0 0
0 1 0

VECTORS Tangent float
0 0 1
0 0 1
0 0 0
0 0 1

VECTORS Normal float
1 0 0

0 0 0
1 0 0


CELL_DATA 4
SCALARS cell_numbering int 1
LOOKUP_TABLE default

Then use the Glyph Filter to display the vectors as arrows.

Re: [Paraview] [Xdmf] How to write "voxel" or "image" data xdmf file.

[Michael Jackson]

I finally got it to work, at least for Scalar values. The Dimensions in the 
topology section need to be 1 more than in the DataItem section because the 
Xdmf reader is creating a Rectilinear Grid and not "ImageData". So once I 
finally figured that out then I could load up some of my scalar values. 2 Step 
forward. 
   I then tried to load up a "Vector" data set, i.e., at set that has 3 
component array at each Cell Center. This failed with various error messages 
also so I guess I'll try the process of elimination again for that today.

  It would be really helpful if there were more xdmc examples on their web

Re: [Paraview] [Xdmf] How to write "voxel" or "image" data xdmf file.

[Michael Jackson]

I was wondering that myself as the data inside the HDf5 file is actually 
encoded as a 1D array of 32 bit integers but in the xdmc file I am telling the 
XDMF reader that the data is 3D. Wonder if that matters? I have tried both ways 
and either get a read error or a ParaView crash.

[Paraview] How to write "voxel" or "image" data xdmf file.

[Michael Jackson]

I have an HDF5 file that stores data on a regular voxelized grid. I have the 
origin, dimensions and grid deltas for each of the axis store in the file along 
side my data. I have tried a few different xdmf files but ParaView 3.14.1 seems 
to just crash or fails to read the "Attribute" data. I think it may be a 
"dimension" issue but there seems to be a real lack of XDMF examples on the 
internet to draw from.

This is what I have so far.

 With the above the xdmf file can be read into paraview but all I get is the 
outline. If I attempt to display as "Surface" then I get a crash from paraview 
inside the vtkTupleArray() class trying to access the data. For the "DataItem" 
the data is actually stored in a 1D array in the HDF5 file BUT the data is 
really for a 3D volume of (KJI) 117 201 189. If I place those values for the 
"Dimensions"  in the "DataItem" then ParaView says it can not read the 
attribute data.

 Does anyone have any thoughts on what might be going on?

[Paraview] Extract Z Component of a Normal or Vector

[Michael Jackson]

I have normals precomputed for a triangle based surface mesh. I have had a 
request to color the mesh by the Z component of the Normals. Is there a way to 
use the calculator or something to extract just the Z component of the normals 
to a result array that I can then use for coloring?

[Paraview] How to Glyph my own Triangle Normal Calculations

[Michael Jackson]

I have some code that I am working on where I am calculating normals for 
triangles. I am trying to verify the calculation by visualizing the data in 
ParaView. I am writing a "Legacy" vtk file of type POLYDATA. I have a section 
in the CELL_DATA that starts out:

NORMALS SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals double

When I load the data in ParaView I "see" that there is Cell Data called 
SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals that has 3 components. When I select the "Glyph" 
filter the SurfaceMeshTriangleNormals do not show up in any of the drop down 
combo boxes. If I use the "Normal Glyphs" filter isn't ParaView calculating its 
own normals? I don't want that.

I also tried replacing the "NORMALS" with "VECTORS" but that did not help.

This is with ParaView 3.14.1 (Custom Built) on OS X 10.6.8.

Thanks in advance for any help or pointers on what I am doing wrong.

[Paraview] Use Calculator on a MultiBlock Data set

[Michael Jackson]

I have a reader that gives me a MultiBlock Data set. I use the "Extract 
MultiBlock" to pull out 3 blocks: Phi1, Phi, Phi2. These values are in Degrees 
and I need to convert them to radians. I figured I would use the Calculator to 
simply multiply every value by .017 to get the radian values. Um. Not having a 
lot of luck getting the calculator to work. I am getting the following:

 ERROR: In /Source/ParaView/release/ParaView/VTK/Common/vtkFunctionParser.cxx,

Could someone help me out? THis is with ParaView 3.14.1.

Re: [Paraview] ANN: ParaView 3.98.0, Release Candidate 1 now available for download

[Michael Jackson]

Hmm. Does this mean major code changes for my filters? This seems like
a conversation that I was tracking over the summer? Is there a wiki
page on the major changes?

For those that forgot to "play along at home" could you fill in the
gap between ParaView 3.14 and 3.98? Seems like a very large jump in
version numbers.

I am sure I just missed something on the list. Going to check the wiki

Re: [Paraview] MacOSX Linking problems

[Michael Jackson]

That speaks to an issue with the environment being used to compile paraview. 
Uninstall HDF5 from MacPorts and use the one from VTK. This seems like the best 
course of action and is what I do here when I build my OS X versions of 
ParaView.
  I also build HDF5 for a few other projects so I got pretty good at building 
HDF5 myself with the CMake support that HDF5 has had for the last few years.

Re: [Paraview] MacOSX Linking problems

[Michael Jackson]

do a "make VERBOSE=1" and you can see exactly what the compiler is being sent 
as far as -I include directories. I would say that something is missing either 
in your HDF5 installation, or an HDF5 include path is not being found.

Doesn't VTK come with HDF5 at this point? Why not just let VTK build its own.

Re: [Paraview] MacOSX Linking problems

[Michael Jackson]

Do you have HDF5 built for x86_64? The error is indicating that maybe your HDF5 
is built for 32 bit intel or another arch (ppc). Are you trying to build a 
universal (32 bit/ 64 bit) ParaView? HDF5 will pretty much stop this from 
happening. Just my thoughts

[Paraview] Error with SuperBuild

[Michael Jackson]

I tried to run a superbuild today and got the following error:

[ 79%] Performing download step (download, verify and extract) for 'VRPN'

I am trying to make an exact same build as what is on ParaViews web site so I 
can build a plugin that is compatible with it. Is disabling VRPN going to cause 
issues if I don't build my paraview with it but then try to use my plugin with 
the ParaView from the web site?

[Paraview] Color Table File Format

[Michael Jackson]

Is there a reference somewhere that says what the color table format that 
paraview can import is? I think it is some sort of XML file if I remember 
correctly.

Thanks

Re: [Paraview] SuperBuild errors with VS2008 win32 (On Win7 Ult x64)

[Michael Jackson]

I am running CMake 2.8.7 for these builds. I am also using VS2008 SP1 for the 
build because I need it match exactly the Kitware build environment. I didn't 
do anything special in the install of Visual Studio. I did put the CMake 
installation in C:/Applications (where I put some other items).

 I pulled the ParaView source from the ParaView download page and unpacked it.

 I do run Windows 7 x64 Ult in a Parallels Virtual Machine hosted on OS X 
10.6.8. The VM has 4 CPUs and 4GB of Memory. The host system has 32GB of RAM.

The other interesting part is that I tool a look at my HDF5 1.8.7 source 
(Directly from the HDF5 group) and the H5public.h file is different from that 
included with VTK/Utilities. In the VTK/Utilities/vtkhdf5 version there is an 
extra
#ifdef WIN32
#undef ssize_t
#endif

Which I am not sure why it is needed. I see that the version of HDF5 that is 
included with VTK is HDF5 1.8.5-post2 which was still being developed. The 
latest is 1.8.8 with a soon to be released 1.8.9. I know there have been some 
bug fixes to the CMake files in these later versions. Maybe that would help to 
update HDF5 to a slightly newer version. 
   I build HDF5 in both 32 and 64 bit without issues on windows all the time.

 Comments Welcome.

Re: [Paraview] SuperBuild errors with VS2008 win32 (On Win7 Ult x64)

[Michael Jackson]

That didn't work. I think because in H5public.h ssize_t is a typedef and NetCDF 
is using a #define instead? My c fu isn't that strong to figure it out. I'll 
just comment it out and move on.

Re: [Paraview] SuperBuild errors with VS2008 win32 (On Win7 Ult x64)

[Michael Jackson]

I took a look at that page a it struck me that at least one of the errors 
(ncconfig.h.in) is clearly a bug. From the wiki page are your hints:

• Problems with vtkNetCDF when building win32 with MSVC2008:
• The error message was paraview-3.14.1-superbuild\include\H5public.h(133) : 
error C2632: 'int' followed by 'int' is illegal.
• To fix this, go to the folder 
ParaView-xxx-SuperBuild\ParaView-build\VTK\Utilities\vtknetcdf and edit the 
file ncconfig.h.

The relevant lines are:

/* Define to `int' if system doesn't define.  */
#cmakedefine ssize_t @ssize_t@

Those lines should probably be:

#ifndef ssize_t
#cmakedefine ssize_t @ssize_t@
#endif

 Because the issue is that NetCDF pulls in HDF5 and ssize_t is already defined 
in H5public.h.

My other question to the Kitware folks is that why are the NOT getting this 
error on their builds? I'll assume they are NOT getting the error because 
nothing in the SuperBuild would indicate this type of patch is needed for their 
builds?

[Paraview] SuperBuild errors with VS2008 win32 (On Win7 Ult x64)

[Michael Jackson]

I am attempting to run the SuperBuild for ParaView Version 3.14.1
(Source downloaded from link on downloads page). At least when
building a 32 bit windows executable using VS 2008 SP1 the png gives a
few installation errors. It can not find and therefor install the
following files:

libpng-config
libpng15-config
libpng.pc
libpng15.pc

Not sure if this is causing my other build issues later on but just
wanted to mention this.

I somehow got SuperBuild to compile in win64 mode to get 64 bit
binaries. Not sure where the failure between the 2 lies.

Thanks for any help or clarifications.

[Paraview] SuperBuild and Install or Packaging

[Michael Jackson]

Once I have finally been able to get coerce ParaView/Superbuild to actually 
compile all the way through, just how do I create a "Distribution" or install 
it somewhere of my choosing? I tried running ccmake and setting the 
CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX but that didn't not effect any of the projects.
   All I am really after (ON OS X) is the fixup-bundle so my plugin can get 
it's internal library paths adjusted to match what the Kitware distribution is. 
I have a plugin that I want to post to my website that works with the 
downloadable version of ParaView is my end goal.

Thanks

Re: [Paraview] Release build configuration documentation

[Michael Jackson]

That is great. One request for more details though. I need to know the exact 
version of VS2008 for the Windows builds. Depending on the version of VS2008 a 
different set of C/C++ runtime lib/versions is used. My goal is I want to be 
able to build a plugin that I can host on my own web site and simply tell 
people to download ParaView from the ParaView website. If we don't exactly 
match VS2008 versions then the user will get "side-by-side" issues. Thanks

Re: [Paraview] Qt QTWEBKIT library not found

[Michael Jackson]

On OS X 10.6.8 with Xcode 3.x I use the following to build from source:

./configure -nomake demos -nomake examples -debug-and-release -shared -fast 
-exceptions -stl -no-qt3support -cocoa -arch x86 -arch x86_64 -arch ppc -sdk 
/Developer/SDKs/MacOSX10.5.sdk -largefile -prefix 
/Users/Shared/Toolkits/Qt-4.7.4-Cocoa

And this works without issues.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView-3.12.0 SuperBuild on OS-X Lion

[Michael Jackson]

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5378518/how-to-add-base-sdk-for-10-5-in-xcode-4/6293605#6293605

Which you probably have seen BUT I would caution against actually trying that 
for the simple reason that if Apple isn't shipping the 10.5 SDK with Xcode 4.2 
they probably have a really good reason and I would question the stability of 
software compiled with this work-around.

 And it looks like if you move to 10.7 Lion then you can NOT install Xcode 3.x 
any more. (There are hacks around that also if you google a bit).

 So it looks like if you want to create 10.5 binaries you MUST still be running 
OS X 10.6.

[Paraview] Custom GUI Not Loading for Plugin

[Michael Jackson]

I have a custom plugin which implements a couple of readers and a couple of 
filters. I have a custom GUI for each of them which inherits from 
pqLoadedFormObjectPanel. The filters will load their custom QtPanels BUT it 
seems the readers will not. The constructors are not ever called. All the code 
is compiled from what I can tell. The plugins are loading when ParaView 
launches so I am at a loss as to why they are NOT loading. This is with the 
3.12.0 sources for ParaView running on OS X 10.6.8.
  Could someone enlighten me as to some possible reasons why a custom gui panel 
would NOT get loaded?

Re: [Paraview] Help file for Custom plugin NOT being included with Deployed ParaView.

[Michael Jackson]

It would seem that people writing plugins would want to provide some sort of 
help for their plugins but after looking through the Plugins directory that 
comes with ParaView I see that there are NO help files for any of those plugins 
which makes me think I am in the minority in this case. 

 It would seem that the first thing would be to push the generation of the 
documentation off until AFTER all the plugin CMake code has been run through. 
If this is possible (and easy) then moving forward with a mechanism to include 
help files becomes much easier. It almost is as easy as appending to 
PV_DOCUMENTATION_FILES. I would expect this could be included in a patch 
release for 3.12 if that occurs. If there is much more that needs to be done 
then 4.0 is probably a better target.

Thoughts.

Re: [Paraview] Help file for Custom plugin NOT being included with Deployed ParaView.

[Michael Jackson]

It looks like currently there were not any provisions made to include a plugins 
help files into paraview directly. Looking through the CMake files the 
documentation is created _before_ the plugin CMake code is called so with out 
rearranging that cmake code there probably isn't any chance of having my 
documentation put in.

 Or I am just plain missing something.

Re: [Paraview] ParaView-3.12.0-Win64-x86.exe for Win32?

[Michael Jackson]

One can build a 64 bit Qt by using the "Visual Studio 2010 x64 Command Prompt" 
and configuring from a freshly uncompressed copy of the Qt source codes. Once 
that is done then you can build your own 64 bit ParaView.

Complete information about the Qt build is here:

  I added  -DPARAVIEW_INSTALL_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES=ON
-DVTK_INSTALL_THIRD_PARTY_LIBRARIES=ON to my configure script. I build
with "msbuild /p:Configuration=Release ParaView.sln" from the command
prompt.

 I also have "-DBUILD_DOCUMENTATION=ON -DDOCUMENTATION_HTML_HELP=ON"
so will that generate all the help files and package those?

Is there a script that kitware uses that I can adjust to suit my
needs? All I really have are my own 3 custom plugins that need to be
bundled.

Do i have to use NSIS? The people who are going to use it can not run
installers. I usually give them a plain zip file.

[Paraview] How to Build my own ParaView 3.12.0 Distribution

[Michael Jackson]

I am trying to create my own "Distribution" of ParaView 3.12.0 for Windows. I 
have everything built with Visual Studio but there does not seem to be the 
usual "PACKAGE" project in the solution. Is there some other formal sequence to 
follow? I tried to "Install" into a directory but none of the Qt libraries got 
copied into that directory so that is a bust. Which also brings up the question 
that the "install" doesn't really work because when I try to launch ParaView it 
complains that it can not find the Qt libraries. I am sure I am missing 
something straight forward on this so sorry for the seemingly stupid questions.

Re: [Paraview] Building documentation

[Michael Jackson]

You need to set up the DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH to include where ever you have 
paraview installed. Looks like the installer/builder is stripping the 
"install_name" from the libraries. again.

Re: [Paraview] Paraview will not build

[Michael Jackson]

I would have to offer that ParaView _can_ be a harsh introduction to CMake. 
If you are using CMake on a MUCH smaller project then learning CMake can have a 
much less steep learning curve. And in the end it is MUCH less time consuming 
for the developers to upkeep a few CMake files rather than have to upkeep 3 or 
4 visual studio projects, an autotools for Linux and Xcode for OS X. Then add 
to that all the subtleties with cygwin, msys, HPC, MPI, other C/C++ Compilers, 
Fortran compilers and the endless list of other items and the ParaView 
developers have done an extraordinary job of keeping cross platform alive and 
kicking. 
  As to your rant, we have all been there. Ask questions on this list. Search 
Google/Bing/Yahoo. Hey, at least you can do it in your sleep now. ;-)

Re: [Paraview] need book to understand vtk-file formats?

[Michael Jackson]

You are looking for a file called VTK-file-formats.pdf which explains the 
"legacy" file formats. There are some XML based file formats that might also be 
useful. Just depends what the simulation is writing.

Re: [Paraview] changes that affect plugins

[Michael Jackson]

Here are a few of the issues that I have had with migrating a few plugins from 
ParaView 3.10 to 3.12:

I now use EXTRA_EXTERNAL_PLUGIN_DIRS instead of EXTERNAL_MODULES.

Where I used to have code in my cmake files such as:
# -- Add the Server Manager XML
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_SERVERMANAGER_RESOURCES( "${H5Vtk_SM_XML}" )
# -- Add the Client side xml
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_GUI_RESOURCES( "${H5Vtk_Client_XML}" )
# -- Add the wrapped sources
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_WRAPPED_SOURCES("${H5Vtk_SM_Wrapped_SRCS}")
# -- Add additional sources that are NOT wrapped
PARAVIEW_INCLUDE_SOURCES ("${H5Vtk_SRCS}")

I now have this code:
ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN ("PVH5VtkPlugin" "1.0"
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES ${H5Vtk_Server_Wrapped_Sources}
SERVER_MANAGER_XML ${H5Vtk_SM_XML}
SERVER_SOURCES ${H5Vtk_Server_Sources}
GUI_RESOURCE_FILES ${H5Vtk_Client_XML}
REQUIRED_ON_SERVER )

I also have some Custom object panels I designed with QDesigner and I have 
found I need to add the following to the constructor:

  QMetaObject::connectSlotsByName(this);

in order to get the auto connect of signals/slots connected properly. After 
those changes the plugins now seem to be working correctly.

The other comment I have is that the original CMake code I had to add a server 
side "plugin" really just added additional code to one of the PVFilters targets 
and then I compiled a separate plugin that had the gui code. The first 
iteration of changes had me creating actual plugins for both the server and 
client side which seemed even more confusing. After looking through some 
additional plugins in the ParaView source directory I was able to extract the 
needed cmake logic to compile the plugin with our without the GUI stuff 
included based on if ParaView was being compile with Qt support. I think this 
is the "preferred" way to do this now. If not, can someone with knowledge 
please comment.

Hope that helps someone in the future.

[Paraview] Custom Panel in Plugin Auto Qt Signal/Slot not working

[Michael Jackson]

I have a plugin that has a custom Qt panel derived from pqLoadedFormObjectPanel 
which has a bunch of buttons. I was relying on Qt's auto hookup feature in the 
past to connect all the buttons and checkboxes with the proper slots that are 
declared in my class. Those hookups do not seem to be happening anymore as 
clicking on the checkboxes or buttons will not execute the code. I have had to 
change up my CMake files a bit so maybe I am missing something? Automoc? Not 
sure how to check if the header is getting moc'ed or not. 
  Just posting to make sure something has not changed between ParaView 3.10 and 
3.12 that necessitates having to manually hook everything up.

[Paraview] Plugin Requiring another plugin option

[Michael Jackson]

I have a plugin that requires another plugin to work correctly. I have the 
following in my CMake files for the plugin:

ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN ("PVDislocationPlugin" "1.0"
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES ${ParaDis_Server_Wrapped_Sources}
SERVER_MANAGER_XML ${ParaDis_SM_XML}
SERVER_SOURCES ${ParaDis_Server_Sources}
GUI_RESOURCE_FILES ${ParaDis_Client_XML}
REQUIRED_ON_SERVER ${PVDislocation_SOURCE_DIR}/Code/Client/Resources/
REQUIRED_PLUGINS   "PVH5VtkPlugin")
target_link_libraries(PVDislocationPlugin PVH5VtkPlugin)

Note the "target_link_libraries" call. To get the plugin to compile I need to 
add that line. I would have thought the REQUIRED_PLUGINS argument would have 
taken care of that. Is this a bug, half implemented feature or operator error?

Re: [Paraview] Plugin Crashing on PV 3.12 RC2

What is this new XML tag? 
si_class="vtkSIFileSeriesReaderProxy"

This is one of the differences between my plugin and the plugins that come with 
ParaView. I still can not come up with why my plugin is failing.

[Paraview] Plugin Crashing on PV 3.12 RC2

[Michael Jackson]

I have a custom reader plugin that I am trying to update for ParaView 3.12. 
Everything seems to compile OK and ParaView launches Ok. When I try to open one 
of my files I get the following:

ERROR: In 
/Users/Shared/Kitware-CVS/ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/vtkSIProxy.cxx,
 line 240
vtkSISourceProxy (0x121a07e60): Failed to create vtkH5VizFileReader. Aborting 
for debugging purposes.

Which is down in this section of the vtkSIProxy:

  if (className && className[0])
{
this->SetVTKClassName(className);
vtkObjectBase* obj = this->Interpreter->NewInstance(className);
if (!obj)
  {
  vtkErrorMacro("Failed to create " << className
<< ". Aborting for debugging purposes.");
  abort();
  }
this->VTKObject.TakeReference(obj);
}


In my "Gui XML" code I have this:
   
   

and in the Server Manager XML I have this:
  



  
  
  
  
  

 
  

  
  
  

  

  

  
  
  
  
  
  Setting this value will filter the glide planes by the supplied
  index value. The values can NOT be less than Zero (0).

  
  
  

  This is the value by which the glide planes will be filtered. The 
  value should always be greater than 0.

  
  
  
  
   Filter the Nodes by a given glide plane index. This index
   is different than the above index.
  
  
  

  This is the value by which the glide planes will be filtered. The 
  value should always be greater than 0.

  
  

  


  When checked the filter will include VoxelData on the
  {111} slip plane

  
  
  
  


  When checked the filter will include VoxelData on the
  {-111} slip plane

  
  
  
  


  When checked the filter will include VoxelData on the
  {1-11} slip plane

  
   
  
  


  When checked the filter will include VoxelData on the
  {11-1} slip plane

  
  
  

  This value will be used for the calculation of the Stress/Strain 
curves.

  
  


I have cleaned the build directory a few times in the hopes that there was 
something weird with the configuration/compilation but that did not seem to 
help. I have not been keeping up with the changes going on with ParaView lately 
so this is all new to me. 

Any help would be appreciated.

[Paraview] Displaying an unstructured grid of tetrahedra

[Michael Jackson]

I am trying to visualize the output from some volume meshing code. The output 
is a bunch of Tetrahedra. When I load the file in paraview (3.12.0rc2) I see 
the surface just fine but I do not "see" any thing connected to the single 
interior node. I have checked the file by hand using pencil and paper and the 
file seems to be formed correctly. When ParaView is viewing a dataset in 
"Surface mode" does it leave out the interior nodes or am I just missing 
something basic? Here is the data file:

# vtk DataFile Version 2.0

[Michael Jackson]

Thanks for the heads up. I needed to add some additional include paths to my 
plugins.

Thanks. 
  I give that a try and see what happens.
