[Paraview] Modify Orientation Axes

[Moreland, Kenneth]

If I may, I’ll soften Joachim’s response a bit.

Kitware, Sandia, and many other stakeholders care a lot about the stability, usability, and features of ParaView. But as with any software product, we have limited resources for development and must prioritize the work that we do. There are several independent developers contributing changes most important to them, but we also want to make sure ParaView satisfies the needs of as many users as possible. As multiple people have already stated, we use https://paraview.uservoice.com as a tool to gauge how important new features are to multiple users. Those features that are upvoted by the most users are prioritized to be implemented. Thus if you would like to see a new feature in ParaView, going to its uservoice page is your best bet.

Nicolas,
ParaView is an open-source project and everybody is welcome to participate.
At Kitware we lead the project and develop the tool and new features according our customer's need.
Unless a customer request (and pay for) this feature and unless a good Samaritan
develop it and share, you can only count on yourself here. Of course if you want to do it,
you will certainly get help on the developers mailing list (paraview-dev).
There is one chance however to have this done by us one day: talk loud
enough on ParaView's uservoice<%20https:/paraview.uservoice.com/forums/11350-general> and ... cross your fingers ;)
Best,
Joachim

Hello Joachim,

Is it possible to add more options in this direction? Most of the time
I don't use the orientation axes, but in the cases I do I would like
to have options. Each visualization is different and requires
different treatment.

I think that a set of predefined options and some edition
possibilities would be really useful.

I don't remember, but I remember more options in previous versions (maybe 3.x?).

Thanks,
