Hi Jacques, That depends on how familiar you are with paraview's servermanager c++ api and pq (paraview qt) api. I'm not sure what you had in mind, but you could create a plugin that adds a panel/toolbar/menu to paraview in which you provide a button that triggers some c++ code to setup the multi

For a real solution I'd want to script it in python... the problem is that you cannot easily specify the view layout in the gui from the python interface. Everything else can be done (creating views, camera links, colormaps). If you're interested, it might not be too hard to extend the python int

Correct, comparative view is only useful for viewing changes in filter properties or time. It may be possible to "cheat" to get comparative view to do some of what you want, but is definitely not an ideal solution... Instead of 1 dataset with 8 variables, save your dataset 8 times, each with a di

I understand your example, but I am not interested in only 2 "dimensions" also, thes "dimensions" are filter properties to animate. What I want is just to show as many views as I have of fields in my dataset (Animation does not really matter at all). So I come back to my original question. 2009/7/

Hi, Comparative view has two modes- filmstrip and comparative. In filmstrip mode, only one variable changes and the views are ordered from left to right, top to bottom. In comparative mode, you can specify an X dimension and a Y dimension and can have one variable change along X and another chan

How do you specify the X and Y dimensions ? How do you have one variable plotted per frame ? For example velocity on the 1st quadrant, pressure on the 2nd, enthalpy on the 3rd etc ? 2009/7/22 David E DeMarle > This is what comparative view is for. > Pick one or two properties of any filter

This is what comparative view is for. Pick one or two properties of any filter (or two) in the pipeline, specify the x and y dimensions and it will do it for you. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc. R&D Engineer 28 Corporate Drive Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662 Phone: 518-371-3971 x109 On Wed, Jul 22, 2
