<div dir="ltr"><div><div><div><div><div><div><div><div>Hi Martin,<br><br></div>Unfortunately there is no reader for this format in VTK/ParaView. Moreoever, VPL looks like a<br>vector graphics format and there is no such similar reader in VTK. However it looks like<br>Madagascar can convert them to raster format (PNG, JPEG etc). <br></div><br>i) A way to go would be to develop a new C++ or Python reader for VPL that wiil on the fly convert them to a<br></div>raster file and load them as a 2D image. As this is a animated file the reader will have to<br></div>declare the number of frames in the animation as the number time steps of the data and then<br></div>be able to provide the conversion of the frame requested by the pipeline.<br><br></div>ii) Simpler : if conversion cannot be performed on the fly or if you can create a series of PNG/JPG files<br></div>from Madagascar, you can just load them as a time series with ParaView (all files should be suffixed with the frame id (eg: frame0.png, frame1.png etc.)<br></div><div>then in the Open File dialog of ParaView just select "frame*.png" item. Thus each file will be considered<br></div><div>as a timestep of the time serie.<br><br></div><div>Hope it is clear,<br></div><div>Best<br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><b>Joachim Pouderoux</b><font size="2">, <font size="1">PhD</font></font><br><blockquote style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><font size="1"><i>Technical Expert - Scientific Computing Team</i></font><br><b><font size="1"><a href="http://www.kitware.fr" target="_blank">Kitware SAS</a></font></b><br></blockquote>

We are trying to visualize madagascar-created (<a href="http://www.ahay.org/wiki/Main_Page" target="_blank">http://www.ahay.org/wiki/<wbr>Main_Page</a>) data files using paraview (4.3.1). These output files are either binaries or .vpl (<span style="font-size:12.7273px"><a href="http://www.ahay.org/wiki/Tutorial#VPLOT" target="_blank">http://www.ahay.org/wiki/<wbr>Tutorial#VPLOT</a>). When using madagascar's viz tool they look "like a movie"; 2D representation of a moving field.
