[Paraview] ParaView Digest, Vol 151, Issue 87

[Christian Gabriel]

Good morning, Aashish



I've been following your email thread with Ashton with quite some interest, as I'm considering using ParaView in a similar way.



In my case, I'm looking into 3D visualisation of groundwater modelling results (from MikeShe). The subsurface (below a DEM) is represented on an unstructured grid:

MikeShe has its own proprietary file format which I have access to via a Python SDK; my goal is to develop a "programmable source" that would read those files directly into ParaView for visualisation.



Then adding shape files (base mapping) on top of this would actually be really cool.



I'll keep following along .... Chris

This all sounds very exciting. What format do you use for seismic dataset?

That would be actually using the PROJ4. I will see if we can push a plugin that can expose the projection capabilities.  How soon do you need this?

Right, the GDAL plugin will enable loading of shapefiles (and other formats). Let me find the status of our code and I can follow up with you on it sometime very soon.



Thanks,
