[Paraview] distributed stream tracer scalability issue

2009-08-24 Thread burlen
We've been using the distributed stream tracer to generate 100s-1000s of stream lines per time step. It's very slow, and it doesn't scale at all. The class comments say as much. I'm sure there is a reason why this implementation was chosen. Is there something that generally prevents real paral

You might also consider subclassing vtkPassInputTypeAlgorithm instead. That should set up the output object the way you want (the same type as the input) for you. -Ken On 8/24/09 11:35 AM, "burlen" wrote: How did you implement RequestDataObject? Did you set the keys: vtkDataObject::DATA_TY

Hi Ken, Thanks! That worked, I had only tried structured topologies which was my mistake. Cheers, Christine On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 5:57 PM, Leiter, Kenneth (Cont, ARL/CISD) < kenneth.lei...@arl.army.mil> wrote: > Classification: UNCLASSIFIED > Caveats: NONE > > Hi Christine, > > If you are re

Christine, I import HDF5 files into ParaView by first converting them to VTK (which ParaView will natively read). To do this I use the 'h5tovtk' converter that is supplied as part of the 'h5utils' package ( http://ab-initio.mit.edu/wiki/index.php/H5utils). This may or may not work for you -- I s

Works like a charm. I trust that Qt tries to load these plugins preemptively, and that they actually are never really used? On a similar issue: Applications/Client/CreateBundle.sh.in copies the Qt SQL driver plugins into Contents/Libraries/sqldrivers, but shouldn't they go into Contents/Plu

I think you can override the plugin search paths using a qt.conf file but I don't remember exactly how to do it. Here is some documentation- http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qt-conf.html Pat On Mon, Aug 24, 2009 at 5:30 AM, Michael Wild wrote: > Hi all > > With current ParaView-CVS and Qt 4.5 on Mac

This is something I assumed they were doing, but with the limited experience I have using FieldView I was never sure. As you said, Tecplot and Ensight appear to do well enough with their open formats, and if I'm correct are cheaper per licence too. (On a side note, having used them both extensively
