[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Paraview crashes during volume rendering

[Scott, W Alan]

I believe that the answer to size limit is no.

HOWEVER – volume rendering increases the memory footprint significantly (something like an order of magnitude).  Try using the View/ Memory Inspector to see how memory is doing.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Paraview crashes during volume rendering

Hi guys.

I've a vtk ImageData file of about 900Mb that can be opened on PV without any problem.

When I change the visualization mode from "Outline" to "Volume", PV shows the 3D image, but when a try to interact with the image, for instance, rotating it, PV crashes with the message:

> Qt has caught an exception thrown from an event handler. Throwing

> exceptions from an event handler is not supported in Qt. You must

> reimplement QApplication::notify() and catch all exceptions there.
I'm running PV 4.1.0 64-bit on Mac OS 10.9 on my Mac PRO with 16Gb RAM. I also got the same error on Mac OS 10.7.5.

I observed that if I crop a small part (200Mb) of the original image, I'm able to open and rotate this small part with no problem. Is there any size limit as default in PV?

Do you guys have any clue of how to solve it?

Many thanks,
