ParaView 3.2.1

Hi Folks,

Kitware, Sandia National Laboratories, CSimSoft and Los Alamos Laboratory are proud to announce the release of ParaView 3.2.1 (stable). You can download it from http://paraview.org/HTML/Download.html.

This release includes the following enhancements/fixes:

  • New animation view for viewing, creating, modifying animations. This is improved version of the ParaView 2.6 animation tracks. We have made it more intuitive and easier to use.
  • The "Element Inspector" has been replaced by brand new "Spreadsheet" view which makes it possible to view the raw data produced by any source/filter.
  • Filters with multiple outputs and inputs are now supported. This opened doors for several new filter such as glyph with custom source, stream tracer with custom point source etc.
  • There are several improvements to charts including support for vector data in line charts (magnitude or component), support for labels, titles and legends, custom chart axes end points.
  • Selection support has undergone a major overhaul. It is now possible to select cells (or points) on surface of geometry or within a view frustum by simply dragging on the 3D view. The properties of the selection can be inspected/changed using the brand new "Selection Inspector" accessible through the "View" menu. "Extract Selection" filter can be used to extract the selected cells or points. Labels can be used to label the selected cells or points.
  • Support for eXtensible Data model and Format (XDMF) files is back and improved to support composite datasets, quadratic elements, mixed topologies. It is now possible to change domain and grid selections as well.
  • We are working on making ParaView totally at ease with composite data sets. As a part of the process histogram (and soon probe) filters now work with composite datasets. The python client can fetch composite datasets as well as perform operations such as min/max/sum on these dataset.
  • A new python module is introduced which makes dealing with proxies convenient. A separate document is available describing these python enhancements.
  • This version has many GUI usability improvements including but definitely not limited to:
    • view based and application settings.
    • using mouse clicks for picking center of rotation, point widget location.
  • We are constantly trying to make the documentation better. The online help has been extended to include the new functionality added since 3.0.

We would like to acknowledge Sandia Labs and Los Alamos Lab for their continuing support and funding.

Enjoy.

Announcement

Development snapshot of ParaView III for July (3.1.0) is now available. The download links and announcements for all snapshots can be found at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III_snapshots (also at http://paraview.org/New/download.html)

This snapshot includes binaries for Windows, Linux (32 and 64 bit) and Mac OS X and tar/zip balls for the source. The source can be obtained through CVS using tag "ParaView-3-1-July".

Here are some the things we have been working on:

  • Improved chart controls. Most of the changes to the charts won't be visible to the user for the July snapshot. The interaction setup has changed. Pan, zoom, and zoom box are on the left, middle, and right mouse buttons respectively. The default colors for the line charts have changed.
  • Better controls to layout text annotations.
  • Improvements to the underlying rendering framework making it easier to add new views/representations.

Here's what coming soon:

  • Improved animation track editor.
  • Multiple input/multiple output support.
  • Better element inspector to inspecting an entire dataset.
  • Support for labeling points/cells.
  • More chart improvements including:
    • Setting the line style and thickness on the line charts,
    • More axis layout control. (log scale, setting the range),
    • Legend,
    • Labels.

Look at http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III to get more information on the new features. We will continue adding more documentation to this page as we progress.

Have fun.
