Hello Gregory, Kent,<br><br>I am actually working on this feature in ParaView. I cannot promise the time frame for the feature to be complete, but I have best people working on it.<br><br>There will be couple of iterations we will go through, but I assume there should be a prototype available soon.
<br><br>You can start a wiki page now to describe the behavior you are interested in, so we can get discussion running.<br><br>Thank you.<br><br>Andy<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 10/17/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">

The answer to Greg's question would also be helpful to us.<br><br>We are running an application on a parallel system and would like to use ParaView to monitor its output in real time.<br><br>The app will be writing time steps (where each is a set of files, one from each processor) directly to the Linux PC where ParaView is running. ParaView will be reading these files via a pvd file that describes all the time steps including the ones not
<br>yet written by the app.<br><br>However, we are missing one critical piece: how do we coax ParaView to notice that the next time step (i.e., the next set of files) has arrived - and to go read them?<br><br>The most elegant solution to this, and Greg's question, would be to identify, in the server, something like a background loop, and then add a call to a new routine (that we write) that looks for our special event (a message, a new file, whatever) and
<br>then kicks off a change.<br><br>Kent<br>Pittsburgh Supercomputing Center<br><br><br>--On 10/17/2006 01:30:08 PM -0400 <a href="mailto:gabra@us.ibm.com">gabra@us.ibm.com</a> wrote:<br><br>> I have a Paraview source module thats connected to an external process by
