<div dir="ltr"><div>Looks like ParaView doesn't know that it can treat these guys as images and give you the option of the Slice Representation. As such it has to do surface extraction (convert to unstructured) in order to show you the values.</div><div><br></div><div>To demonstrate rid of all but one grid in your spatial collection and load that then look at memory inspector when you change to surface mode. Then take the spatial collection out to get the slice representation as an option.</div><div><br></div><div>Not sure how to fix it without coding a bit. What you need to do is make sure it stays in structured format (as Felipe hinted at). I thought merge blocks would work, but that makes unstructured grids too. Sample to image data might work. You can probably use the python source hdf5 import path to do it directly.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature">David E DeMarle<br>Kitware, Inc.<br>R&D Engineer<br>21 Corporate Drive<br>Clifton Park, NY 12065-8662<br>Phone: 518-881-4909</div></div>

We have run stitching algorithms on the images to find their correct coordinates in XYZ space so that they will form the montage correctly.<div><br></div><div>The raw amount of memory is 67,535,424 bytes.

At one point ParaView spiked to 120GB of RAM and then fell back to about 36GB of RAM. This seems a bit excessive to me. This is with ParaView 4.3.1 on a Windows 8.1 workstation. Am I doing something wrong? Just seems like a lot of memory.</div><div><br></div><div>Are their alternate ways of writing the Xdmf file so that each image is a single cell perhaps?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for any insights. </div><div><br></div><div>I can make the data set available to anyone who needs it.<br clear="all"><div><div>_________________________________________________________<br>Mike Jackson <a href="mailto:mike.jackson@bluequartz.net" target="_blank">mike.jackson@bluequartz.net</a><br>BlueQuartz Software <a href="http://www.bluequartz.net/" target="_blank">www.bluequartz.net</a><br>Principal Software Engineer Dayton, Ohio</div></div>
