Re: [Paraview] remove mesh partition

2012-08-31 Thread George Zagaris
Hi Hadrien, Does your output consist of partition(zone) connectivity information or any information about nodes that are on internal boundaries? If the simulation can write out an additional mask array to indicate the nodes on the internal boundaries, then you could use threshold within ParaView t

Re: [Paraview] ParaView thinks that it does not have a wind blade reader

2012-08-31 Thread Andy Bauer
Thanks for the files. I think the best place to put the reader files would be for VTK/IO/Geometry for vtkWindBladeReader and make a new directory ParallelMPI to put the vtkPWindBladeReader in. If you want to get this into VTK and ParaView faster I would suggest that you push your VTK branch to gerr

[Paraview] Manipulating Big Data through Python Shell

2012-08-31 Thread
Hello, I am trying to control renderings with a WiiMote instead of a mouse using Pat Marion's ParaViewSocketPlugin to send commands to ParaView's python shell (see attached .py file) and running into an issue. When trying to manipulate 20MB of point cloud data, ParaView severely lags behind af

Cool stuff! The performance problem makes me think that ParaView is not using display lists. Is Immediate Mode Rendering off? (it should be). When you get to GB size data, there will have to be some LOD involved. No graphics card can render that many points at interactive rates. On Fri, Aug 31, 20

This is pretty cool!! Would it be possible to create a video of your interactions? Just to be sure, so are you saying that when you interact with mouse, the performance is much better than when you use wiimote? If performance is bad with both devices then it could be what Berk said. If one is bette

Immediate Mode Rendering is off but I can't seem to utilize the LOD. I have it set and it clearly works when I use the mouse but the effects are not present when I use the WiiMote. I've yet to figure out how to get it to work with my application by using python. From: Berk Geveci [mailto:berk.g

Travis has already left for the weekend so I'll take over Q&A for what I know. 1) A video is probably possible but I'll want to okay with boss-man first. 2) Performance is significantly worse when using the Wii nunchuck. We can render a simple 15 MB point cloud on our dual-core laptops with 256

I would be happy to post a video, but I wouldn't be able to make and then post it until later next week. For very small data (such as a simple sphere), the WiiMote performs with only the slightest bit of lag in comparison to the mouse. But as the data gets larger, the lag increases linearly with
