[Paraview] time series not working with xyz or lammps-dump reader && presenting millions of atoms by "spheres"

Tue Jul 10 00:46:35 EDT 2012

Thanks very much, Christian.

1. The point sprite plugin is really cool. It allows efficient atomic
presentation with control of the color, radius and opacity of individual
atoms. I tried this on win7 64 system with precompiled 3.14 paraview.  It
only works for the object loaded by xyz file reader not lammps dump file
reader. And when I tune the atom radius and opacity back and forth from
"constant value" to "c_1 (atomic scalar)", some warning shows up
"Warning: In ..\..\..\..\src\VTK\Rendering\vtkShaderProgram2.cxx, line 382
vtkShaderProgram2 (00000000135CBAB0): another program was used (id=5), our
id is1."
And when I continue to tune atom radius and opacity, numerous such warnings
show up and pavraview will not respond to my tuning, although I can still
rotation or pan the object.

2. I registered CFDEM, but I somehow cannot download the attachment other
than the two pdf files. So can you send them to me through email? Thanks a
lot!
