Having said that, I can give you some pointers: 1. When ParaView starts, it looks in a directory pointed by the PV_INTERFACE_PATH env. variable and tries to load all .xml files there. 2. If you compiled your own sources and filters into a separate library, you have to tell ParaView to load it in the XML. NOTE: You need to generate the TCL wrapped library as well. Here is how to do it: You also have to setup your TCLLIBPATH and PATH to include where the library is. 3. Look at ParaView/vtkPVDefaultModules.h to see how the modules in ParaView are done. It is a little hard to read but should contain all the information you need. 4. Keep in mind that the XML can change and you might end up having to update your XML files in future. Let me know if you any questions. -Berk From dann@club-internet.fr Mon Mar 10 20:12:56 2003 From: dann@club-internet.fr (Dann) Date: Mon, 10 Mar 2003 21:12:56 +0100 Subject: [Paraview] Bug report in ParaView Message-ID: <3E6CF1C8.80309@club-internet.fr> Hi, I found an old bug in ParaView and I just verify in the last nightly version, it is still here.

This is expected. Unless off-screen rendering is enabled, ParaView will create a new render window on each process. These windows should not be covered by other windows in any way, otherwise, the parallel image compositing will not work. This is because the image buffer is grabbed during compositing. There are a few ways of avoiding this: 1. send each window to a different display; this is the common way of running paraview on a cluster 2a. On Unix/Linux, compile paraview with mesa or a combination of another GL and mangled Mesa and use off-screen rendering 2b. On Windows, use off-screen rendering To enable off-screen rendering, you have to define the PV_OFFSCREEN env. variable. Note that this will only work with the Windows binaries, on Unix/Linux, you have to recompile VTK and ParaView. I can point you to some documentation if this is what you want. > I then compiled a CVS version of ParaView in order to see if this > problem was specific to PV-06 binaries, but this time, the additionnal > windows appear directly at launch time (Might I have gone wrong in > specifying MPI compilation options ?).

This is where all the rendering objects (render window and renderer) are created. To enabled stereoscopic for a single processor, All you need to do (in theory) is to add the appropriate calls in that function. Right after the new render window is created for example. -Berk From berklist@nycap.rr.com Wed Mar 12 16:00:12 2003 From: berklist@nycap.rr.com (Berk Geveci) Date: 12 Mar 2003 11:00:12 -0500 Subject: [Paraview] threshold & raw files In-Reply-To: <3E6F506F.A8C25AE5@copepod.de> References: <3E6F506F.A8C25AE5@copepod.de> Message-ID: <1047484815.2541.15.camel@caemlyn.kitwarein.com> The threshold in ParaView extracts cells (in this case voxels) which contain values in the given range.

I recently posted the following messages to the VTK mailing list: About GL and mangled Mesa: You can not. You have to use mangled mesa which allows you to link against both nvidia's GL and mesa. You then create different rendering objects when you want to use the mesa off-screen. Look at VTK/Examples/MangledMesa/README.txt and the examples in VTK/Examples/MangledMesa/Tcl About compiling Mesa mangled: Here is how I do it: 1. use Makefile.X11 to build Mesa (not configure) 2. edit Make-config, add -DUSE_MGL_NAMESPACE to CFLAGS of the target linux-static 3. compile the target linux-static 4. rename libGL.a to something like libMGL.a 5. follow the instruction in VTK/Examples/MangledMesa/README.txt Some of the later versions of Mesa might not compile since the mangled stuff was broken for a while. I usually use Mesa 4 (cvs should also work).

This will cause even large files to be collected to node zero for local rendering. (This is why you do not see the extra window until you create something "large".)

In the meantime (and thanks to Charles) I have succeeded in using Paraview to produce stereoscopic images. :-)) So just in case somebody else has a similar problem: The trick is to enter the following commands RenWin1 StereoCapableWindowOn RenWin1 SetStereoTypeToInterlaced (or SetStereoTypeToRedBlue, or ...) RenWin1 StereoRenderOn either directly into the command box ("window" menu) or via load session from a *.pvs file. While Paraview complains that the stereo option needs to be specified prior to displaying a rendering object it still complies. Thanks again, folks!

By the way there seems to be a small bug with the "Parallel rendering parameters" push buttons : clicking on the "Composite with floats" button, I got the "Composite RGBA" button pushed as well. I tried the same two X servers business on another (more up to date) system, and got separate rendering windows to display correctly, but compositing didn't work. Seems like compositing doesn't support working with both :0 and :1 display on the same computer. It does work nonetheless, when I use two computers with display :0, like you suggested. Thanks for your advice, an thanks to Charles for the great "collection treshold" tip. Emmanuel From jfavre@cscs.ch Tue Mar 25 09:43:28 2003 From: jfavre@cscs.ch (Jean M.

I usually try to make input data files read-only to prevent accidental overwrites. ParaView does not see them, if I select their specific file extension, or if I select All Files *.* 2) While using the "Up one level" arrow, I cannot go all the way up to the root directory, i.e. / No files or directories are visible, which means I cannot go to different disks. Has anyone seen this? I use last night's CVS version, although I have had this problem for a while now. Thanks for the help. -- Dr. Jean M.

Indeed, if we change the source file name the MMI becomes wrong. For example I put in "standardReader.XML" an "ArraySelection" tag, so the reader builds a menu with the name of all the arrays in the file. But if i change the path to select a new file, the arrays menu is not update. So my question is: how can I remove the field "FileName" ? Gu�nol� Harel
