Thanks to David's help I come to a certain extend to an extension of my reader to do live updates.
Background: I want to to in-situ optimization, on request the optimization shall be restarted with new parameters and I want to see the most current result. The optimization results are interpreted as a FEM time series where an interation is expressed by a time step. * I start reading a time series (0...100) and give this back by RequestInformation. * Assume the users sees time step 2 * No I start new optimization and my reader thread. - The thread within my reader reads the current iteration data. - I want to force Paraview to display the most current data. - The actual time step number/ value displayed within paraview is irrelevant for me as long as the image is ok. * My thread calls Modified() and after that Update() - This leads to a call of RequestInformation() and RequestData(). - Here I'm lost: I tried several things but nothing is repainted. - When I increase the timestep in the visualization with the mouse, the data returned by the last RequestData() is displayed. But how can i force Paraview to display the new data after RequestData without my mouse interaction? Shall I return a different time range within RequestInformation() ? I'm working on this for two days now - having no progress but I'm sure it is easy ... * please help ! * :)) Fabian _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
