[Paraview] Paraview 4.4.0 crashes when exporting scene without rasterization of 3D objects

[Simon Couture]

Hello Dave,


I appreciate your feedback. I was hesitant to try the newest version (5.2.0 Windows 64 bit build for me) since I read that there was a new backend which changed the way the vector format was being output, I wanted to go for something more "proven" with 4.4 =D


Still I went ahead and downloaded Paraview 5.2.0 64 bit Windows build. Interestingly I was met with the following warning message


"ERROR: In C:\bbd\df0abce0\source-paraview\VTK\Rendering\OpenGL2\vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow.cxx, line 697 vtkWin32OpenGLRenderWindow (0000000007F54CB0): We have determined that your graphics system is an Intel SandyBridge based system. These systems only partially  support VTK. If you encounter any issues please make sure your graphics drivers from Intel are up to date."


Thankfully I have the latest Intel graphics driver installed so I'm hoping for the best.


I try to export scene with the cylinder source as I described in my first e-mail, I save it to .svg format, unchecking the Rasterize 3D geometry. This time Paraview does not crash, however upon opening the .svg file I find that the content is an embedded image, not a vector graphic, that is, unchecking the Rasterize 3D geometry option gives the same result as when this option is checked.

I just grabbed the 4.4 release on linux and it works fine, so it sounds like something specific to the windows builds.

4.4 is quite dated at this point. Do you still see this issue on newer versions of paraview?

Hello all,


I want to export a paraview scene to a vector graphic format but for some reason Paraview crashes during the operation.


The version that I am running is from the installation file ParaView-4.4.0-Qt4-Windows-64bit.exe. I have tried the export operation on two different machines, one with Windows 10, the other with Windows 7, with the same result.


The most straightforward way to reproduce my problem is the following: from the Sources menu I create a cylinder with default height 1 and radius 0.5. I then go to File -> Export scene..., I type a filename to save to, I tried selecting formats .eps, .svg and .pdf all with the same result, then in the "Export Options" window that pops up, I uncheck the Rasterize 3D geometry option, click save, and I get the "paraview.exe" has stopped working message (actually I just tried to save with the Rasterize 3D geometry option checked, and that also crashes paraview).


Has anyone encountered similar behavior? Any help is appreciated.


Simon
