Subject: [Paraview-developers] Reading PVD file from code

Hello rclaveria,
iterating through the file collection has to be done on the client side. It
seems like you are only programming server side code. Paraview is very
limited by design if you want to change the client from the server.
Everything action has to be initiated from the client.
Have a look at the PVDReader section
of ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/SMApplication/Resources/readers.xml
and write a client side proxy that invokes the required operations.

The following can't be discussed as is. Obviously, those lines won't
compile without more context. Either show the complete file, or at least
the compiler output.
"The following piece of code doesn't even compile:
        vtkDataObject* outputreader = reader->SetUpOutput();
        output->DeepCopy(outputreader);"

Regards,
Jussuf

Subject: [Paraview-developers] How to public a plugin and include it in the
 official Paraview distribution
Message-ID: <CAC7Egyb5vYJmiSmUcXt76FmCojA+ecw4uWC5QUBv23q+bWf5ug@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,
I'm developing a Paraview plugin for an university project (in
collaboration with the Prof. Paolo Cignoni) which includes key features of
the VCG library (actually Uniform Random Sampling and the Hausdorff
Distance computation).

I'd would asking you about the steps to public my plugin and some develop
tips to include it in the official distribution. Actually the plugin has
few functionalities and developed with an elementary knowledge of the VTK
framework, so just some ideas to improve the code and make it suitable for
your standard will be really appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Best regards,
Andrea Mantovani

I would be happy to take a look at your contribution, but if it depends on VCG then I do not think it can be included in ParaView directly because of licensing issues. My understanding is that VCG is licensed under the GPL while ParaView is licensed under a less restrictive BSD-style license. We specifically require conributions to the VTK and ParaView repositories to be under the BSD license and not depend on software under the GPL so that PV+VTK can be used in closed-source commercial applications.

However, we do provide pathways for software under other licenses to be integrated into VTK and ParaView, including remote source modules[1] and plugins[2]. This way, people willing to accept the GPL can use your contribution.

Besides licensing issues, I am happy to take a look and provide some comments on how your code style matches VTK if you can point me to a public repo with the source code.

    David

Hi wil1, Hi ParaView dev list

As stated before, you should post on the right mailing list.
First, paraview officially support visual studio 2013, not 2015, but this
should work the same :

Here is a quick tutorial on how to build a Plugin with Ninja on windows.
please do the following :

 - Install Ninja https://ninja-build.org/
 - Cleanup your plugin build directory
 - Open a VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt
 - in the terminal :
       cd /path/to/your/build/dir
       cmake-gui
 - in cmake-gui, configure you project but instead of "Visual Studio 14
2015", select "Ninja"
 - configure, find the ParaViewDir, generate
 - close cmake-gui
- in the terminal :
        ninja

you now have a libYouPlugin.dll file in the build directory.

Best regards.

Burlen,

Are you doing a static build of ParaView? What Cmake flags did you use?

Message-ID: <21bde1e7980879f01382839480181291@imap.dim.uchile.cl>

Hello,

I'm writing a filter for ParaView. I need to enable the user to select a 
folder through the filter's menu, ideally using the module pqFileDialog. 
For files, the following lines on the xml file of the filter suffice, 
but with this piece of code only files are admitted (not directories). 
Is there a way to set a menu that admits only directories?

       <StringVectorProperty animateable="0"
                             command="SetOutputDir"
                             name="OutputDir"
                             number_of_elements="1"
                             panel_visibility="default">
       <FileListDomain name="files" />

Hello

Please keep the list in the discussion so everyone can contribute.

Did you run cmake-gui from the *VS2015 x64 Native Tools Command Prompt *?

You need to type "cmake-gui" in it instead of using the start menu.

Hello

Please keep the list in the discussion so other can help you, not only me.

when you installed cmake, you could have installed it to your path, wich
would allow you to run cmake-gui from anywhere.
you can also run cmake-gui from the build directory if you enter the full
path C:/ProgramFiles/Cmake/bin/cmake-gui (or similar)

Best,

Mathieu Westphal

Hello

Please keep the discussion in the right mailing list.
VTK-dev are not concerned by paraview plugins.

"vtkexodusII-pv5.5.lib required for the plugin and missing " does not looks
like a standard error.
Can you please paste the full error ?

Thanks,

Mathieu Westphal

Hello,

I send all mails concerning our discussion to ParaView Developers <
paraview-developers at paraview.org>,
you can register here : https://www.paraview.org/mailing-lists/
Or even better use our new ParaView discourse :
https://discourse.paraview.org

Concerning your issue, it is hard to help you without seeing your
CMakeLists.txt
You may want to try to build an example plugin from
paraview/Examples/Plugins

Best regards,

Mathieu Westphal

Hi ParaView community,

This is just a reminder that we are transitioning our community support
forums to

https://discourse.paraview.org/

Discourse is now the preferred place to post new topics and help requests.
In just a week of operation there are already a good number of discussions
taking place there.

By the way, if you prefer interacting via mailing list, Discourse provides
a mailing list mode that you can enable by following the guide Utkarsh
posted:

https://discourse.paraview.org/t/using-discourse-as-a-mailing-list/64

Thanks!

Cory

I don't see anything next to  FileListDomain in the code that looks
promising. You could always use a straight string, but that doesn't get you
the nice selector dialog.

If we are looking for 5.5.2 bits:

In 5.5.1 it seems that I still need to patch 
VTK/ThirdParty/vtkm/vtk-m/CMake/VTKmDetermineVersion.cmake

(commit cf91ca520e38faa1afae5d0bcc6788b2b4660c3e)


I that Andy's catalyst changes might have made it in, but wasn't really 
surprised not to see them since they do change the API. Nonetheless, 
I'll express them as a wish:

CoProcessing/Catalyst/vtkCPProcessor.cxx
CoProcessing/Catalyst/vtkCPProcessor.h
CoProcessing/Catalyst/vtkCPXMLPWriterPipeline.cxx
Wrapping/Python/paraview/coprocessing.py

Hi Mark,

The VTKm patch issue should be resolved in 5.5.2. I'd love to have the
Catalyst API changes in 5.5.2 but that's a bit much for a patch change. 5.6
will have it though and that's due out in September so people won't have to
wait too long for that.

Best,
Andy

Question from a user:

The attached exodus results file will open up in Paraview as a 2D problem because at t=0, the z dimensions are consistent.

Could Paraview switch between 2D if the element type contains a QUAD descriptor , and 3D if the element type contains a SHELL descriptor?

Thanks,

Alan

If there's not a way for sources/readers to indicate the "problem dimension," there probably should be. However, it seems to me that it would be better if Exodus files could explicitly designate whether they are 2d or 3d than trying to come up with rules for the reader to infer it, rather than just passing along file metadata.

Evidentially, as I describe in the question, a QUAD descriptor or SHELL descriptor does this?

Including the person who made the request in this e-mail thread.

Hi Alan,
...
Question from a user:
The attached exodus results file will open up in Paraview as a 2D problem because at t=0, the z dimensions are consistent.
Could Paraview switch between 2D if the element type contains a QUAD descriptor , and 3D if the element type contains a SHELL descriptor?

If there's not a way for sources/readers to indicate the "problem dimension," there probably should be. However, it seems to me that it would be better if Exodus files could explicitly designate whether they are 2d or 3d than trying to come up with rules for the reader to infer it, rather than just passing along file metadata.

Hi
I wonder if there is an automatically way to load the legend from the .vtu and display it on the scalar bar. Currently I have the following. I wonder if there is any existing clause used to add some extra info such as Unit="xxx" .
The only way I can find is to manually edit the "Edit Color Legend Properties" dialogbox. But needs to do every single time and its not automatic.
Thanks

David,

I may be mistaken, but I do not believe XML files can contain a color
lookup table, so what you are trying to do is not possible.

HTH,

Subject: [Paraview-developers] Accessing attributes in VTK geometric objects
Message-ID: <73b10953573b230d17a70b885828c725@imap.dim.uchile.cl>

Hello,

I need to access and modify the data attributes of VTK geometric objects 
(e.g., an unstructured grid) from the code. For example, I'd like to 
write algorithm to assign a pressure or temperature value to each cell 
(or point) of my mesh according to a certain physical model. However, I 
haven't found code examples where data attributes are set, accessed or 
modified using C++ or python code. So far, I've relied on external code 
(python's FEniCS library, to be precise) to generate meshes, run 
simulations and set attributes, saving the output in a format readable 
by ParaView (.vtk extension with the flag UNSTRUCTURED_GRID).

I'd be grateful to receive guidelines on how to set the attributes of a 
mesh using the VTK library.

Thanks

I recommend that you check out the extensive examples:
https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/

See for example:
https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/Cxx/VTKConcepts/Scalars/

Or grep "GetPointData()" or "GetCellData()" in the VTK source code.

Basic ideas:
- A dataset represents geometry + topology e.g., vtkUnstructuredGrid.
- Attribute data (point data and cell data) is associated on a 1-for-1 with
dataset points and cells.
- Attributes (e.g., scalars) are created in vtkDataArrays using tuples of
one or more components
- Attributes can be associated with dataset via
dataset->GetPointData()->SetScalars(attrArray) or using AddArray() etc

Also see VTK/*/*/Testing/Cxx and  VTK/*/*/Testing/Python there are
literally more than a thousand tests.

Finally, I strongly recommend that you read the book
<https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/VTKBook/> (these are works in
progress): either on-line LaTeX book
<https://raw.githubusercontent.com/lorensen/VTKExamples/master/src/VTKBookLaTex/VTKTextBook.pdf>
created by Andrew Maclean & friends;
or the Markdown document
<https://lorensen.github.io/VTKExamples/site/VTKBook/01Chapter1/> created
by Bill Lorensen & friends.

Subject: [Paraview-developers] What are the ways to show numeric values come
 from filter output?
Message-ID: <CAC7Egyavza_=HZ3DvQd9+VfGVcmat-3FJfHsbPWqbJ6whv8P7A@mail.gmail.com>

Hi all,
I'm writting a filter takes in input two mesh and gives as output the
Hausdorff Distance (so a numeric value). Now I have to show this result in
Paraview and the only way that I know is using the Field Data, so attaching
to a (deep) copy of one of the two mesh in input a field data with the
distance value. Now the result is visible into the `Information` section as
array and this is fine.

But, are there different ways to display a numeric value? And is it
possible show the result as single integer and not as array with the same
values? Actually the class vtkFieldData wants only array as input for its
methods, therefore I don't see alternative solutions but it's just asking.

Best regards,
Andrea Mantovani

Not really :-) Field data is generally the way to go for storing and
displaying such quantities.
