<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ParaView 5.2.0 has been released by Kitware and is now installed and the is default here at Sandia on the SRN and SCN LANs. ParaView is a scientific visualization application installed at Sandia.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Standalone installs for, Windows, OS X and Linux are being worked on, and will be available for download within a week.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">ParaView 5.2.0 is medium level upgrade, with the following enhancements that stand out to me.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Sources/ Ruler has been enhanced, allowing users to measure distances between points or cells. Try turning on Auto Apply, and the ruler will automatically update. Also, hitting the number 1
sets the beginning placement for the ruler, 2 sets the ending point for the ruler. There are also many improvements still to come with this tool.
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">A generic Edit/ Reload Files menu option has been added. This works on all readers.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Anti-aliasing for lines is available through Edit/ Settings/ Render View / Use FXAA. This works local and remote server. I hope to have this turned on by default soon.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Hidden line removal has been enhanced and is now available. Find this at the bottom of the Properties tab – Hidden Line Removal. Test with Sources/ Wavelet, then render with Wireframe. This
fails on large data, remote server, which is why it is turned off by default.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
