[Paraview] ParaView III February Snapshot

[Berk Geveci]

Hi Folks,

I posted the January snapshot of ParaView III. The download links and
announcements for all snapshots cam be found at: http://paraview
.org/Wiki/ParaView_III_snapshots

This snapshot includes binaries for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X (intel only,
I will start posting ppc binaries again next month). The source can be
obtained through CVS.

Here are some the things we have been working on:

* Animation support: ParaView 3 has now an animation panel very similar to
ParaView 2. There is not track editor at this point.
* Improved time support: We are working on integrating recent time-support
changes in the VTK pipeline to ParaView. You will notice that some of the
readers no longer have a time step property. This is because the time
editing capabilities are moving to the animation panel.
* Improved python support including client-side delivery. The python API is
evolving very rapidly, once it matures, we will post documentation.
* Property and camera linking. This is a very cool feature. Check the wiki
for documentation.

What is coming next month:

* Lookmark support
* Much improved 2D plotting support
* Volume rendering interface
* Improved color map editor
* Plugins

On another note, ParaView 3 now requires Qt 4.2.2 to build.

There is still very little documentation. 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. We started working on Qt assistant based online documentation. It
will be available soon.

Have fun.
