[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: linux find data

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Cole,

The Find Data dialog has indeed changed in 3.14 and you have enter
expressions manually. (We are planning to fix that for the next
release and bring the functionality from 3.10 back). The problem
however is that your linux box is missing "numpy". ParaView now needs
numpy for query-based FindData to work (which will be the case for
future releases too).

Just as a side note, the binaries we distribute on paraview.org are
indeed packaged with numpy included.

I can do this by selecting a point in 3D mode using "Select Points On" and then using the filter "Plot selection over Time", but I need more control over the location I choose for plotting and data analysis purposes.  So I would like to use "find data".

As far as I can tell, I have not yet guessed correctly.  To attempt to see if find data was even working, I tried a simple query directly from the Users_guide.  I used the query "GlobqalElementId == 1".  The query returns all cells in the domain, and I get the error shown in the attached text file.
