[Paraview-developers] Visualization issues after switching from PV 5.1.2 to 5.3

[Schlottke-Lakemper, Michael]

Hi folks,

We just updated our local ParaView installation from 5.1.2 to 5.3.0 and also re-compiled our custom plugins. Now we experience the issue that for some of our reader plugins, after loading a solution/grid file we can actually see the grid and its cells, but the data is not correctly visualized. That is, when looking at the data range in the inspector (or at the range of the legend), one can see the correct minimum/maximum values and if when applying the threshold filter, it cuts the correct cells. However, the cells itself remain uni-colored.

Is it possible that this is related to changes in the ParaView build process? Maybe some switch in some visualization-related CMake defaults? I’m really at a loss here.

Regards,

Michael

P.S.: Here is an example:

Original figure with PV 5.1.2 (this is what we expect):


Same figure with PV 5.3.0


Same figure with PV 5.3.0 and threshold filter applied to show only positive values (to demonstrate that it is, in fact, related to the visualization and not just the data reading):
