[Paraview] compiling ParaView on Windows
I'm on a project to add a new Reader to ParaView, and have successfully gotten it working as a Plugin on linux. Now I need to do this for Windows. A few questions: 1) Can I compile my plugin as a DLL, that can be loaded with the downloaded windows binary? 2) Is that version compiled with MinGW or Visual Studio? 3) If it's Visual Studio, can it use the QT compiled with MinGW? I see that to get QT compiled with Visual Studio, I have to have the Commercial Version, not the Open Source version.

Re: [Paraview] compiling ParaView on Windows
Actually, the latest Qt 4.4.x supports the free versions of Visual Studio so you can compile the OpenSource version of Qt with Visual Studio Express. The ParaView devs can answer the rest of the questions with more authority but if you were to try to compile against the downloaded version of ParaView you would have to match their version of visual studio and Qt which is entirely possible. I have found that compiling Qt 4.4.2 on windows is now straight forward and the build of ParaView after that is just as straight forward.. unless you have an older machine then it just takes a llloonnnggg time to compile everything. On my 2.6Ghz Core 2 Duo with 2GB ram I think Qt 4 is taking a few hours to compile.

Re: [Paraview] compiling ParaView on Windows
Last I heard, ParaView was very specific about requiring QT 4.3.5 .. Is this no longer the case? fyi, I need to compile PV3.2.3, not the latest CVS.

Re: [Paraview] compiling ParaView on Windows
I think it complains with a warning. Qt 4.3.5 can be compiled with VS2005 express and probably VS2008 Express although 2008 is not officially supported. So basically pull the sources for Qt 4.3.5 and compile with VS Express, then pull the PV sources and compile that. Should work. I think I had that for a while in the summer without a problem.

Re: [Paraview] Unstructured Grids
That is a pretty open ended question. Unstructured grids are defined by an
array of point coordinates and a separate array of cell topologies. In your
case, the list of points will simply correspond to each particle, and each
cell will be a 0D cell (a vertex) that points to a single point. There are
actually two types of unstructured data supported, poly data and
unstructured grid. All things being equal, I would probably use the poly
data type because you won't have to identify each cell type.
ParaView supports multiple file formats for this type of data. One you can
use is the legacy data format. It's not an optimal file format, but it's
easy to make these files and the documentation is readily available from the
VTK User's Guide and the ParaView wiki
((http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/5/51/VTK-File-Formats.pdf). This
format does not support time natively, but you can write out a sequence of
files with incremental numbering, and ParaView will read that as a time
series. The files could look something like the following (with the ..
replaced with an appropriate value).

Hi
I am new to using Paraview and would like some assistance if possible. I am
researching particle dynamics and need to create files for unstructured grids.
For the moment as I have just started all I have are particle locations, but I
will later require several physcial variables for view.
So I have a problem in which X number of particles are initially static and
after an initial shock the particles dissipate. I would like to view the
simulation of this by a Paraview animation of the particle locations recorded
at fixed time intervals.
What do I need to write in the vtk file for this , and why?
I am using Paraview 3.2.2
Thanks in advance
Chris

Re: [Paraview] python scripts
That's weird. from paraview import servermanager should work from all the 3 locations client, pvbatch or pvpython.
