[Paraview] animation of two datasets

2009-03-03 Thread Keith D. Matthews
I'd like to make movie comparing two datasets. I've made a single dataset movie by exporting the frames from the 3D View, and then assembling them using ffmpeg. Is it possible to export each frame from 2 3D Views to a single image? Or perhaps there is a better way to go about this. Thanks,

[Paraview] Memory problem in Contour-Filter?

2009-03-03 Thread Bernhard Gschaider
Hi! I know that this is a bit like diagnosing a brain tumor using a passport picture, but I'd be grateful about any help. I'm currently using Paraview 3.4. Using a programmable source I constructed a polyMesh (basically a number of particle trajectories). The trajectories are displayed alright

How is it possible to change the opacity in the colormap for individual scalar values? This would allow the surface to show through certain regions, for example, if the scalar values represented precipitation or clouds. I DON'T want to change the global opacity of the surface with Display->Sty

The first 232 pages is about using paraview. The last 111 cover enough about the architecture to get the reader started at extending paraview. Topics covered include an overview of the code structure, compilation and installation, the servermanager's proxy, property, and domain structures, writing

[Paraview] Understanding the source code

Hi all, Is the book geared to understand how to use paraview or understanding the code. I am a imaging research developer but looking at the 2.6 million lines of code in 8820 files in the Visual Studio project that contains the cvs paraview is not an easy task especially when there are deadlines..

It sounds like cmake wasn't able to tell where the MPI libraries are. Open up ccmake, turn on the advanced options, and verify that the MPI INCLUDE and LIBRARY and EXTRA_LIBRARY paths are correct. On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 11:43 AM, Jim Montine wrote: > I am attemtping to build ParaView-3.4.0.  I fo

I am attemtping to build ParaView-3.4.0. I follow the instructions on the wiki and I am able to use cmake to configure and generate the makefiles. When I run make, things go along fine until I get here: Linking CXX executable ../../../../bin/DistributedData Then I get a bunch of undefined

Hi, I had a similar problem a while back. Try applying the CellDataToPointData filter before the cut filter. Hope it works, Peter. On Mon, Mar 2, 2009 at 3:06 AM, Luc Bordier wrote: > Hello, > > I'm starting to use paraview in script mode using pvpython. > > I succeeded to load my data and to

Try VTK's vtkTensorGlyph http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkTensorGlyph.html filter. You will have to write a plugin to let paraview use it. See http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Enabling_a_filter_in_VTK On Tue, Mar 3, 2009 at 3:41 AM, Pawel Krupinski wrote: > Thanks for reply,

Thanks for reply, but I don't think it will work in my case. Maybe I wasn't specific enough about my data and it was confusing. I have point data witch represent centers of ellipsoidal cells. With each point there are associated lengths of ellipsoid axes (e.g. as a vector data), which can be dif
