[Paraview] ParaView 4.1.0 (UNCLASSIFIED)

Tue Jan 14 12:31:26 EST 2014

Classification: UNCLASSIFIED
Caveats: NONE

I'm seeing some weirdness with the color map editor.   If I choose the color
map editor option, a separate window pops up as expected.  But when I move
my cursor from the main window over to the color map pop-up window, the
color map window disappears.  If I move my cursor back to the main window,
the color map pop-up reappears.   If I drag the main GUI window over to so
that the edges of the main GUI window and the color map popup window are
touching, then the color map editor window does not disappear.   

I'm using the Linux_64 prebuilt binary on a RHEL5 Linux system running KDE
3.5.4.

Subject: [Paraview] ANN: ParaView 4.1.0 is available for download

Folks,

ParaView 4.1.0 is now available for download
(http://paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php
<http://paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php> ). With over 170
issues resolved, this release includes several bug fixes and feature
enhancements. For a detailed list of issues resolved, refer to the change
log (http://paraview.org/Bug/changelog_page.php
<http://paraview.org/Bug/changelog_page.php> ).  Some of the notable
enhancements in this release are as follows:

Redesigned Color Map Editor panel

This release introduces a completely designed panel for editing color and
opacity transfer functions for scalar coloring. The panel, which is now a
dockable widget, instead of a popup dialog, makes it easier to edit transfer
functions as well as edit labels and annotations on the color legend or
scalar bar. This also makes it easier to access some of the functionality
introduced in the previous version of ParaView, such as categorical colors.
It is now easier to edit transfer functions when using log scaling as the
transfer function editor view now switches to log space.

Enhancements to Find Data dialog

Find Data dialog, introduced several versions ago, has quickly become of the
main mechanisms for creating new selections. However, until now, if the user
created selection using some other mechanism, such as selecting cells in the
3D view, the Find Data dialog could not be used to inspect that selection.
One had to use what was called the Selection Inspector. That has now been
changed. Find Data dialog has been updated to always show the active
selection, no matter how it was created.

Selection Inspector panel has been removed. Selection Inspector was
primarily used to control how selections are labelled, their font
properties, etc. One can affect these directly from the Find Data dialog or
the new Selection Display Inspector which is dockable panel specially
designed for picking selection labels, label properties, or showing the
selection frustum for frustum based selections.

Enhancements for interactions with Plots

Inspired by plots in matplotlib, individual axes in line and bar charts can
now be zoomed by right-clicking and dragging along the x- or y- axis. Of
course, one can still drag diagonally to scale both axes as before. Also the
the user interactions for making new selections in line chart view have been
cleaned up to be more consistent with the render view.

Support for Python-based views

This release adds mechanisms to enable Python developers to integrate views
that use libraries such as matplotlib for rendering. This will make it
possible to take ParaView's charting capabilities even further. More details
on how to create such views can be found on Kitware blog
(http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/588
<http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/588> ).

ParaView Catalyst: Zero-Copy infrastructure for transferring data

A set of experimental interfaces have been added for reusing simulation
memory in portions of a Catalyst pipeline. A vtkMappedDataArray subclass may
be used for attribute/coordinate arrays, and vtkMappedUnstructuredGrid is
used for dataset topologies. More information can be found at
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/CoProcessing#Experimental:_Reusing_simulation_m
emory
<http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/CoProcessing#Experimental:_Reusing_simulation_
memory> .

ParaView Catalyst: Editions

Several new editions of ParaView Catalyst are now available for download and
are routinely built and tested. These editions are:

Base

minimal set of dependencies needed for Catalyst

Base-Python

Base with Python support

Essentials

Base + dependencies needed for Calculator, Contour, Clip, Cut and Glyph
filters.

Essentials-Python

Essentials with Python support

Extras

Essentials + dependencies needed for ExtractHistogram, WarpScalar,
WarpVector, IntegrateAttributes, Extract Surface filters.

SurfaceLIC and support for Parallel Rendering

One of the notable community contributions for this release includes
extensions to the ParaView Line Integral Convolution contributed by Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). Details can be found on the Wiki
(http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Line_Integral_Convolution
<http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Line_Integral_Convolution> ). The
implementation has been designed to work with composite data in parallel and
includes a number of customizations that facilitate interactive data
exploration.

Updates to ParaViewWeb

ParaViewWeb was integrated into ParaView binaries in the previous release.
This release includes several fixes and enhancements to simplify use and
deployment as well as updates to the WebGL rendering support. This
implementation supports modern browsers with WebSocket capabilities
including Safari 6+, Chrome 14+, Firefox 11+ and IE 10+.

As always, we look forward to your feedback (http://paraview.uservoice.com
