 Hi All:

 I have a ParaViewWeb application going with a pvpython back end, and it
 looks great. I want to show views of multiple datasets in it now. I gather
 that the layout() methods are not supported in pvpython, so I have to use
 separate windows.

 I'm creating the render window on the client with this:

 const renderer = VtkRenderer.newInstance({ client: model.pvwClient });

 I can certainly create two such renderer objects, but I don't see how
 to link the Render on my pvpython server to one or the other of the
 client's renderer objects.

 I assume I've been using some default behavior where my Show() and
 Update() commands get sent to the one renderer, but how do I direct them to
 one or the other?

 Thank you,

  -Tom

Re: [Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: pvtm file format

[Andy Bauer]

The .pvtm is the same as the .vtm file, just a redundant file extension.
Really, the .vtm format is parallel/partition aware where as the other .vt*
extensions have a partitioned .pvt* format.

I'm a bit surprised that PV doesn't associate the .pvtm file with
multiblock datasets. If you try to read in a .pvtm file though you just
need to properly associate it with the XML multiblock data reader.

Re: [Paraview] Paraview display issue on Windows

I checked the system path on my computer and I couldn't find anything

 Thank you for such a quick reply. I checked the OpenGL entries and it
 is indeed using the NVIDIA video card. The OpenGL renderer is listed as
 GeForce GTX1080/PCIe/SSE2. I search online and although people say my

I’ve never heard of these files either.  From my user:




I am writing planes of data in parallel with XMLMultiBlockWriter and it is 
generating *pvtm files.  However, paraview doesn’t seem to support this file 
format for reading?  I am trying to visualize the results and I can read the

Then:

Back to me.

“.  I am writing this dataset from a slice while running catalyst.”  So, I 
figured I would start by asking if this is a Catalyst/ ParaView/ VTK file 
format (that I had never heard of)...I have asked user for a dataset.

Re: [Paraview] -EXT-Re: Paraview display issue on Windows

I  suspect all these issues relate to QOpenGLWidget related changes to
ParaView. We are working on a update to rework that change, it would be
worth trying out the nightly binaries once those changes get merged in.

FYI the work is happening here:

Hello,
Have the same problems here, 5.2 works fine, 5.5 not.

Thanks for checking all the versions. We have run into some issues with
Qt5, but I had thought we worked through most of them. This is the first

Unfortunately, I do not. We have steam installed on some systems that run
ParaView just fine, so I would be surprised if that were the cause. You
could always try removing steam and seeing if ParaView versions 5.2+ work,
but that may be more than you want to do.

You mentioned you have Matlab installed. I believe Matlab ships with Qt and
it may have put its Qt location in your system PATH environment variable.
Try removing (or modifying) your system PATH environment variable so that
ParaView won't find Matlab's Qt instead of the Qt version ParaView ships
with. Some folks have run into this problem in the past and modifying the
PATH was the solution.

Thanks,
Cory

 Junxi,

 Does your system also have an Intel video chip that it may be using? If
 so, ParaView may not be using your NVIDIA driver. You can check by going to
 the Help -> About ParaView menu item. What do the Open GL entries say?

 To ensure ParaView is using your NVIDIA card, you can try going to the
 NVIDIA control panel. Under 3D Settings in the panel on the left, click
 on "Manage 3D settings". On the right side, click on the "Global Settings"
 tab. Make sure "High-performance NVIDIA processor" is selected. Apply
 the changes, then run ParaView again to see if the problem is resolved.

 Hope that helps,
 Cory

Re: [Paraview] [EXT] Re: Using Pandas in Paraview v5.4.1

[Dennis Conklin]

Scott,

I assume that if I compile a ParaView executable with pandas included, then I 
could distribute my plugin as xml and everyone could access it.I’m a little 
unsure but I assume I would also have to recompile the server that we are using 
on an HPC cluster to include pandas.   I’m beginning to see why adding pandas 
to ParaView has been delayed a few times.

Hi Dennis,

I'm not sure I understand precisely what you mean when you say "compile here 
with an external python".  Do you mean compiling your plugin (which would imply 
not a simple xml plugin), or compiling ParaView?  Even if you compile ParaView 
on your end with an external python, I don't see how that will result in 
something that will allow you to distribute your plugin as xml.  You could try 
to distribute a custom ParaView binary (which includes your new plugin as well 
as pandas python modules), but for that you would normally need to use the 
ParaView superbuild.  Even then I think you would have to tweak the superbuild 
to get the python to include pandas.

Hopefully someone out  there with more knowledge can chime in and provide some 
hints or suggestions.  Then maybe we'll find out what you want to do it quite 
easy, in which case I'll be excited to learn about it :-)

Cheers,
Scott

p.s.  I'm sure you may have read through this before, but just in case (or for 
people who come across this later):

Scott,

Interesting idea and I was not aware of any of that.

I should be specific that I need to make an xml Server side plugin for general 
distribution that needs to call pandas to execute.   So I don’t think I can get 
everyone here to load up that virtual environment and install pandas.

I think I’m hearing that pandas for everyone is not available unless I compile 
here with an external python, right?

Thanks
Dennis

Hello Dennis,

Depending on how you want to use pandas within ParaView, one approach that 
could work involves creating a virtual environment and installing pandas there. 
 Then a couple of lines of python can make modules installed in that virtualenv 
available from pvpython.  See this blog post for more information:

https://blog.kitware.com/using-pvpython-and-virtualenv/

Hope this helps,
Scott

All,

I need some pandas functions for some filters.Pandas, unfortunately is not 
a simple library (there is no pands.py) – it needs to be installed into your 
version of python as a module.How can I get this in Paraview (hopefully, 
without compiling from source).Can I install pandas into the python 
installation included with the PV download?

Thanks

Dennis

Great, thank you. Do you have an example of how to use it on the client
side?
