[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] a new user with a simple question

[Scott, W Alan]

Just guessing here - I wonder if you have a bad driver and /or graphics card?  If ParaView works one place, and doesn't the other, your data is probably good.  Assuming you are using a Kitware download, I assume that shouldn't be the issue.

What OS?  Can you draw lines?  (in a 3d window, Sources/ Line).

I tried rm paraview .ini  file and indeed got a fresh start with paraFoam (by looking at the "Recent" tab under "Filter").   However, on one of my computers (unlike the others) the plotOverLine window is still blank (without anything visible, not even the coordinates).  I tried to put in a "Chart Title" but it does not appear in the blank window (although colors were assigned to data sets).  I tried "Save Data" and looked at the csv file, which shows the data were there.  which might be due to that the data did not get in there.   Could there be something else I can do to manually get the data (over line) plotted in that window?   Thanks.

This web site tells you how to do it - from the ParaView Wiki.  http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Settings_Files.  Just delete the configuration files.

You can also find out if taking ParaView to initial conditions is what you want.  Run paraview -dr (disable registry), and that does the same thing as deleting the configuration files.

Hello ParaView,

I tried to use ParaFoam (ParaView) with OpenFoam.  During my several trial-and-error playing-without-knowing, I lost the "plotOverLine" display (although the plotOverLine sub-window still comes up but without any curves and axes appearing).  I wanted to get the original "settings" back (because I had a working plotOverLine in the beginning), but haven't been able to.  I re-installed OpenFoam and re-compiled ParaFoam; neither of those could get me a fresh start.  The ParaFoam window seems to always remember what I had last time.   So, I wonder if you can tell me how I can get ParaView to the initial (default?) state as if I had it installed the first time?  Thank you very much.

James Feng
