In a quick check it looks to have made a difference. I will report back if I see anything as I have a chance to use it more on the cluster. Thanks Ken! Burlen Moreland, Kenneth wrote: I can’t find anything wrong other then there must be some sort of precision issue that is interfering with t

I can't find anything wrong other then there must be some sort of precision issue that is interfering with the decision of when to draw a polygon that is smaller than a pixel. I just checked in a change to IceT that prevents shifting around the projection matrix in single-display mode. That sh

Ken, Here is a dataset that I am able to reproduce with: http://nashi-submaster.ucsd.edu/movies/PV/holes.tar.gz run with 96 procs. Set the view to +y. If the long holes aren't appearing in your view I found that smaller holes can show up by rotating the plane in small increments about either t

That was not intended to be a solution, but rather a diagnostic. My guess is that there are precision errors in the rasterization when the viewport is shifted. Could you restore vtkIceTRenderManager and try the attached patch to IceT? -Ken On 12/10/09 12:26 PM, "burlen" wrote: Hi Ken, it

Hi Ken, it seems to have solved the problems. I say that with fingers crossed, I haven't seen holes any since your suggested changes, where before I was seeing them quite often, popping up from time to time. Burlen Moreland, Kenneth wrote: Hmm. It is possible that the “floating viewport” fea

Hmm. It is possible that the "floating viewport" feature of IceT could be causing troubles with precision. Could you try adding icetDisable(ICET_FLOATING_VIEWPORT); somewhere in the vtkIceTRenderManager::UpdateIceTContext() method and see if the problem goes away? -Ken On 12/7/09 10:11 AM,

Hi Ken, For that figure you mention I turned on "surface with edges" to show the cell size better. Sorry I can see how that could be confusing. But just to clarify, there aren't actually any holes in the surface. Here is another zoom in of the same area where "surface with edges" is off and y

Burlen, For the zoom in, you say there are no holes/lines, but in the image I see a grid of lines. It looks like you have a bunch of little quads with spacing in between them. Is this the case? If so, then the "hole" artifacts you see on the bottom of the screen are probably simply aliasing

its ugly but I get a lot better performance by splitting the work up dynamically with a small grain size. in the run shown below there are only 16 processes but there are a whole lot of process boundaries. I was able to reproduce it on a second system today. these holes are pretty non-determin

Ouch. That's very distributed :-) Does the problem go away when you decrease the number of partitions? On Thu, Dec 3, 2009 at 10:55 AM, burlen wrote: > I'm seeing lines where the background shows through a surface polydata of > quads. When I zoom into the region to investigate the holes are gone.

I'm seeing lines where the background shows through a surface polydata of quads. When I zoom into the region to investigate the holes are gone. Moving the image around the holes appear in different places. They depend on camera position. In this surface there are 2.5E6 quads. the area is 10x16
