0012917: vtkPyramid does not create gradient at apex

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:36:19 -0500

The following script computes gradients for a pyramid. If you run it, there is warning and the resulting gradient at apex is garbage.

0012913: Re-ordering of the columns in Scatter plot matrix view

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 14:18:22 -0500

In Scatter plot matrix view, we want to re-order the columns of the scatter plot by drag-n-drop of the table columns shown in the Display panel and the scatter plot view should be redrawn according to the new order of columns.

0012922: Parallel Coordinates View segfaults on selection

Parallel Coordinates View segfaults when a selection is made in the view.

0012866: Extract selection without selection crashes ParaView

Fri, 10 Feb 2012 08:13:39 -0500

Git-master as of today, OS X 10.6.8, Qt 4.7.2.
1. Start ParaView.
2. Source->Sphere. Apply.
3. Filters->Extract Selection. Apply.
Then ParaView crashes.

0012924: [patch included] Paraview 3.12.0 fails to build with zlib 1.2.6, invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'gzFile'

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:06:30 -0500

I'm using archlinux with gcc 4.6.2 with zlib 1.2.6.
When compiling against the system zlib, I get the following errors:

[ 67%] Building CXX object Utilities/VisItBridge/databases/CMakeFiles/vtkVisItDatabases.dir/BOV/avtBOVFileFormat.C.o

I found that someone on http://forum.fobby.net/index.php?t=msg&th=701&start=0 [^] also encountered this problem and said that it was due to "gzFile not being a typedef of voidp anymore in zlib-1.2.6".

I wrote a patch which fixes paraview building against zlib 1.2.6.
Attached as fix-build-with-zlib-1.2.6.diff

Although visit is an external library, it doesn't have a public bug tracker or version control system, or that one I could find. So I'm submitting this bug to paraview since you maintain an internal copy.

0012912: extract cells by region (using sphere) controls

Thu, 09 Feb 2012 10:10:17 -0500

Get some source.

Get the 'Extract Cells by Region' filter and change the selection from Plane to Sphere. Use left-mouse. This should move the sphere but instead resizes it in a dramatic way. Happens both with parallel and perspective projection. The workaround is to enter the radius and position 'by hand'

0012662: Make transform and warp filters work on image and rectilinear data

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:30 -0500

Image data and rectilinear grids cannot have a general transform or warp applied because they have to be axis aligned. However, it is a simple manner to convert them to a structured grid and then transform them or warp them. These filters should do so under the covers.

This is covered under this uservoice request:

0012555: Enhanced ruler

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:30 -0500

We should add an enhanced ruler to ParaView. This would be a ruler that had the tick marks and markings of the cube axis, but would allow a user to place the end points on a 3d object. This "ruler" should then float over the 3d object, always displaying the ruler, ticks and markings - even if the ruler is imbedded in the 3d object.

0012602: CTH Derived density incorrect with cylindrical coordinate data.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:21 -0500

This simulation is in two-d, cylindrical coordinates, so that x is a radial variable and y is the axial distance.

The densities should all be the same for the first time step. See robert maynard for the dataset to replicate this issue.

0011960: CTH reader: Optionally calculate "derived variables" density and material densities.

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:21 -0500

In spcth files, derived variables are not saved in the file because they can (usually) be calculated from the other variables that are written to the file. However, the spcth reader does not do this. The feature request is to optionally compute several derived variables if the variables they depend on are in the file and if the user requests them (through the variable checkboxes on the preperties panel.) Formulas given in Additional Information.

The motivation for this request is that the Prism plugin is much more effective when the material densities are available, so this request is focused on just these quantities. A more complete solution would be to optionally compute all the derived variables, which would be straightforward and not too much more work after computing the material densities.

0012381: Prism Support Custom View Scaling

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:20 -0500

Displaying multiple surfaces in the same view is problematic. Each surface is displayed correctly, but the relationship between the surfaces is not correct; for example, if one surface should be twice as high as the first, it will not be shown shifted the correct amount and will be distorted.

Also allow the user to exactly control the world scaling factor from the gui.

0012873: VisItBridge Nek5000 reader doesn't work

Wed, 08 Feb 2012 17:21:04 -0500
