[Paraview] non ordered composite distributor and IceT

[Moreland, Kenneth]

John,

If you look more closely, you should see that the data is only distributed when transparency is on.  If everything is opaque, then everything stays where it is.  If I remember correctly, there is a flag in vtkOrderedCompositeDistributor that turns it to a pass-through filter.  It's implemented like this because it's more convenient than changing around the internal pipeline.  If you never have to do ordered compositing, you could just remove this filter.  Likewise, you can set the parallel render manager to do non-ordered compositing and just forget about the parallel k-d tree.

Subject: [Paraview] non ordered composite distributor and IceT


Can anyone point me to an example of a representarion which interacts with IceT in any n on standard way. Geometry and UGVolume Representations use a vtkOrderedCompositeDistributor and then IceT takes over.

I’d like toe skip the vtkOrderedCompositeDistributor (which is ok), but I’m not sure how to interact with IceT and see how it doe the image summation etc.

Are there any odd representations out there I can use as examples?

Thanks

JB
