[Paraview] REĀ : something doesn't work well ?

2009-08-21 Thread BOUSSOIR Jonathan 167706
Hi Berk, I don't think the problem is in the script or vtk file, because I have done many test. I use a cluster type Beowulf with diskless via nfs. Only the master has disk-dur. I see that the problem is nfs. I tried to make the vtk file in a ramdisk but I have always the problem, sometime it

[Paraview] python/VTK errors in Paraview

2009-08-21 Thread Karl Battams
Hi, I'm using the latest CVS build of Paraview (on Ubuntu) and am getting some errors when I try to do python scripting from the Python shell. I start ParaView and bring up the python shell, and type the simple command: reader=LegacyVTKReader() As soon as I enter this command, the error

When you creating the readers using python shell from the GUI (not pvpython or pvbatch), it's recommended that you set the FileName in the constructor itself. So try: reader = LegacyVTKReader(FileNames=foo.vtk) Utkarsh On Fri, Aug 21, 2009 at 10:04 AM, Karl Battamskarlbatt...@gmail.com wrote:

Thanks! That did it! Next problem, along similar lines. I want to simply volume render a vtk file I have. If I do everything from within the paraview app, it works fine. But if I try to do the following from the python shell (or pvpython) it seg faults on me:

Karl, I think you'll find that you still don't get the same results as in the GUI. The GUI also handles the creation of a default color lookup table and opacity function when you switch to volume rendering. Here is some code to do the same in python. It's a mix of paraview.simple API and

Hi Karl, The volume representation needs a set of valid scalars. In the GUI, the color-by scalars are automatically switched for you when you change the representation combobox to Volume. In python you'll need to do something like this: SetDisplayProperties(reader,

Re: [Paraview] multiple time steps and particle tracing

2009-08-21 Thread Moreland, Kenneth
That's the basic idea. It takes as input a group of particles and, as it gets executed for new time steps through an animation, builds a trail behind them. The output of the particle tracer makes for good input to the particle pathlines filter. Output-0 is the pathlines themselves. Output-1

Yes it helps since I understood there is no bug here, although I still think it would be more useful for users to be able to detect when the integration has gone out of the domain, so as to stop integration one step earlier. Best regards Date: Tue, 18 Aug 2009 15:27:15 +0200 From:

[Paraview] Plugin link error

Hi all, I am new to ParaView (and this mailing list) and I'm interested in the ability to automate Paraview operations with python scripts. I noticed in the online documentation that the Record Test function should allow one to produce XML or python scripts for a recorded set of actions performed

Hi Jon, Where did you install paraview from, and what version is it? If you go to Help -- About, there should be a box called Client Information that will tell you if embedded python and python testing is enabled or not. Some versions of paraview are built without python, maybe yours falls into
