[Paraview] Annotate time filter

2012-12-05 Thread Xueli Wang

Dear paraview users,

I have a question over the use of Annotate time filter in Paraview. I 
have a netcdf data which has time axis given as days since 1950-01-01 
00:00. This gives problem if I want to show the real time of the data 
in the animation window. What I would like to have shown are the date as 
4-8-2003, 00:00 etc. But now it shows big number like 19521, 19522. 
Indeed they are days from 1-1-2950. Other visualization program like 
Ferret does show the right date.


Does anyone have some idea how to solve the problem?

Thanks a lot!

Re: [Paraview] Annotate time filter

2012-12-05 Thread Xueli Wang

Hello Seb,

Thanks a  lot for your reply. I just looked I didn't see something like 
Python Annotation in the filters What I have is only Annotate time 
filter. The question is how can I get this filter? I'm running 
Paraview3.14.0 32bits. Is this a good version?

Or I need to do some extra...?

Cheers!
Xueli

[Paraview] rotate

2011-01-28 Thread Xueli Wang

Dear ParaView Users,

I have a question over the camera rotation in Paraview. Since I normally 
visualize Earth system data. The global should rotate from east to west, 
but ParaView rotate automatically from west to east. My question is 
whether it is possible to rotate the other way round?


Thanks!

[Paraview] [Fwd: transparent color too weak]

2011-01-04 Thread Xueli Wang


---BeginMessage---

Dear ParaView users,

I often need to use transparent color to visualize rain or temperature 
on the Earth. My problem is that the color becomes too weak if the 
opacity set to 0.4 or 0.3. My colleague made the visualization in the 
same way using google earth the color stays strong while it is clearly 
transparent. Does anyone know a way to improve this?


Thanks a lot!

Re: [Paraview] which version of ParaView has Animation Inspector?

2010-12-28 Thread Xueli Wang
Thanks a lot, Ken for your reply. Far superior, I still found difficult 
to use the Animation View to, for instance,  let the glob to rotate  
twice.  The first  time  is easy as long as the radius is chosen the 
rest is set by the software. But if I want to let it to rotate again 
then it get funny numbers that the object is out of view. I have to type 
all the terrible numbers by hand. I haven't found a way to copy from 
somewhere or load from a file... Also it seems impossible to combine 
rotation with zoom together. I sent mail about this but get no reply 
back. If you can help me with these questions I'll be grateful!


Thanks!

Have a nice time

Can someone give me a hint? Thanks a lot!

Re: [Paraview] place 2-D png file in 3-D field

2010-12-16 Thread Xueli Wang
Thanks for your mail. I created a plane source as you suggested, but 
still it's difficult to put it on the right place. You know the movie 
shows a global with clouds of rain on it. It zooms in and out and 
rotates. This image has to do the same as the globe all the time. I 
wonder if there is a way to fix the image in the window just as if it 
has an own 2d space

Re: [Paraview] place 2-D png file in 3-D field

2010-12-16 Thread Xueli Wang
It is a good idea! It solves for great part the problem. Only when it 
zooms in very much then the background image will totally hidden...

I'll use it unless there is a better solution for it.
Thanks!

I want to make a movie in Paraview. I can use interpolate camera

My question is whether is it possible to combine these two functions? Or

You can combine two video files back to back using mencoder:

mencoder -of mpeg -oac copy -ovc copy -o output.mpg file1.mpg file2.mpg

Hello Utkarsh:

Thanks a lot for your reply. I have made some progress in using 
ParaView. I have now a script to make zoom in and zoom out of the view. 
But it is too quick.  I can't control the speed of the process. I would 
like to have a script that shows this zoom in and out slowly just like 
what we see on the television. Do you know how to do it?
By the way I got these scripts by using the Python shell trace to 
record what I did by mouse click and so...


Thanks a lot!
