[Paraview] PV3.8.0 RC1 LIC and VisIt plugins
Hello Two questions about PV3.8.0 RC1: 1. Is there somewhere a how to about using the LIC plugin? Using my own data with a simple 3D structured grid (vts) that has vectors, I extract a 2D grid, then I try to apply the LIC on 2D structured grid filter and PV crashes! Then, trying to reproduce the picture that is on the PV 3.8 news page, I read the disk file, extract a contour, then try to view it as Surface LIC and PV freezes! 2. VisIt plugin: there are two VisIt plugins, one in the plugins folder, one in the lib folder. Which one is the good one?

Re: [Paraview] PV3.8.0 RC1 LIC and VisIt plugins
1. I'll let LIC devs reply. 2. The VisIt plugin you should use is the one in lib\paraview-3.8. The one you are seeing in bin is from a duplicate install rule that I will fix right now.

That sounds like an OpenGL error to me. What graphics card are you using? What platform? What version of graphics drivers? The LIC code is very testy when it comes to graphics cards (one of the reasons why it still sits out as a plugin instead of being included in ParaView proper).

I would like to use the LIC plugin because it is exactly what I am looking for to plot skin friction lines on an aircraft skin. I tried it on a Linux-x86_64 Workstation (HP xw4200) with Redhat 2.6.18-92.el5 and an NVidia graphic card Quadro FX 1400 (Driver version 180.22). Next week I will also try the Windows version on my personal computer with an Nvidia GeForce card (don't know the version, the computer is at home). What could help me is the pvsm state file that has been used to produce the picture on the PV 3.8 news page with the oil flow on an isosurface of the disk example. Is it available somewhere?

Hi Richard, I diagnosed a problem yesterday on both a Fedora 11 and Fedora 12 box with NVidia Graphics Cards where ParaView 3.8 would go to lunch connecting with gdb we noted each time it was in an OpenGL call. I replaced the NVidia 195.36.15 driver with 185.18.31 and haven't had a problem since... Your problem sounds very similar. --John.

You'll have to change all references to disk_out_ref.ex2 to match the location of the file on your machine. Also, load the state only after the plugin has been loaded other you will get errors. Utkarsh Utkarsh. Thank you for the info and the PVSM file. I have checked the autoload checkbox for VisIt plugin and SurfaceLIC plugin. Both are loaded when I start PV. Trying the steps you followed gives this error when I select Surface Lic.

Same thing when using your PVSM file. In addition, the 3D windows seems frozen and PV crashes (not each time) when I try to change SurfaceLIC for Surface or something else. I will perform other tests with the Windows version on next week.
