[Paraview] Extension from Plugin-Reader does not apper - QT 4.4 issue?
Hi, I want to write a Reader for Paraview (I guess a plugin is better than directly hacking into the Paraview source). As I have to base on an vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm I cloned the vtkGAMBITReader as it was the shortest (Only change of name, no functionality yet). I follwed the Plugin-HowTO and with the help of the XML files in the examples section and was able to compile a plugin. The extension I use is .h5 (but we do not want to use the HDF5 reader but our own stuff). SYSTEM_HDF5 is disabled. When I load the Plugin no .h5 extension appears in the file open dialog. I have several (starters) questions: * Shall the extension appear there? * I use OpenSuse 11.0 64bit with QT 4.4 - Paraview compiles nice after commenting the WARNING() in the cmake file. - Can this be the reason for the problem? - What actually is the QT 4.4 issue? It compiles ... * When I load a plugin again, is it reloaded? * Is vtkGAMBITReader a good start? I found no appropriate extension in file open. I just started with the mailing list and did not find something appropriate yet. Thanks a lot, Fabian P.S.: I have no experience with ParaView yet (we have first to read our data :)) ___ ParaView mailing list ParaView@paraview.org http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview

Re: [Paraview] Extension from Plugin-Reader does not apper - QT 4.4 issue?
There are not quite enough details here to say exactly what your problem might be. Rather, I will try to answer your specific questions. * The extension(s) you specify in the Reader tag of your GUI_RESOURCE_FILES (along with the file description) should show up in the file types combo box of the open file dialog. Your extension will be at the bottom. Repeats are OK (with caveats), so the extensions should show up regardless). * I don't think there is anything wrong with your configuration so long as you are building ParaView and the plugin with the same configuration. * I'm not sure what happens when you reload a plugin. However, I just realized that I accidentally set up one of my reader plugins to be loaded into my ParaView twice on startup for about a week now, and it has worked fine. In any case, if your plugin is properly loaded, it will show up in the Manage Plugins/Extensions dialog box. If it is there, there should be no reason to need to load it again. * I'm not familiar with the vtkGAMBITReader or the details of your format, it it sounds like a good enough place to start. In any case, the choice should have no impact on whether you see the reader in the plugin show up in ParaView. -Ken From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Fabian Wein [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 19, 2008 1:56 AM To: paraview@paraview.org Subject: [Paraview] Extension from Plugin-Reader does not apper - QT 4.4 issue?

[Paraview] vtkSMProxy saving/restoring
Hello, I am looking for a way to save a proxy properties and restore it later. The only way I found is by saving and restoring the state using: virtual vtkPVXMLElement* SaveState(vtkPVXMLElement* root); virtual int LoadState(vtkPVXMLElement* element, vtkSMStateLoaderBase* loader); I don't want to use LoadState because this method create a new proxy. I just want to restore all properties to the existing proxy. There is also a method called Copy (void Copy(vtkSMProxy* src), this method will copy all src properties to another proxy: //copying properties to tempProxy tempProxy-Copy(src0,vtkSMProxy::COPY_PROXY_PROPERTY_VALUES_BY_CLONING); I tried to change some display properties in Paraview and then restore using: src-Copy(tempProxy0,vtkSMProxy::COPY_PROXY_PROPERTY_VALUES_BY_CLONING); src-UpdateVTKObjects(); but nothing is restored ! why?

Re: [Paraview] vtkSMProxy saving/restoring
Hello, I'm also facing a related problem when I save/restore vtkSMProxy's. The proxy ID is stored in the XML file. So when I reload the proxies, the StateLoader attempts to recreate the proxy with the same ID as before. But because I'm running a new ParaView session, sometimes the saved ID has already been reserved by another object in the current session, causing a collision. When this happens, ParaView aborts inside the function: vtkClientServerInterpreter::ProcessCommandAssign(const vtkClientServerStream css, int midx) The error message is Attempt to assign existing ID.

Re: [Paraview] vtkSMProxy saving/restoring
For saving the object inspector properties you'll have to save/restore the state for the source proxy (and not merely it's representation proxy).

Re: [Paraview] vtkSMProxy saving/restoring
Ah I think I know the problem. vtkSMProxy::Copy() copies all properties
even those on the sub proxies. A representation is a complex beast with
several internal subproxies which are linked up internally. You actually
simply want to save/restore the exposed properties so I'd do something
like follows:
void Copy(vtkSMProxy* src, vtkSMProxy* dest)
{
vtkSMPropertyIterator* iter = dest-NewPropertyIterator();
for (iter-Begin(); !iter-IsAtEnd(); iter-Next())
{
vtkSMProperty* destProp = iter-GetProperty();
vtkSMProperty* srcProp = src-GetProperty(iter-GetKey());
if (destProp srcProp)
{
destProp-Copy(srcProp);
}
}
iter-Delete();
}
Use the above Copy instead of vtkSMProxy::Copy().

Hi again,
I did save and restore the source proxy and representations and it's
working.
All display properties are saved/restored perfectly, but after
restoring, changing color or Style properties from the object
inspector has no effect. Other properties like visible or
Transformation works !
after restoring I called:
vtkSMObject::GetProxyManager()-UpdateRegisteredProxiesInOrder();
but it didn't solve the problem.

Re: [Paraview] LD_LIBRARY_PATH
thanks for your help. I found that if i compile Qt with -release option, and then compile pv-3.4.0 as normal, I don't need to add qt libs to my LD_LIBRARY_PATH. 2008/11/17 Berk Geveci [EMAIL PROTECTED]: CMake strips RPATH during installation. The only way to achieve what you want without hacking CMake files is to copy your Qt libraries in the same directory as ParaView libraries, something like lib/paraview-3.4/ -berk On Wed, Nov 12, 2008 at 4:12 PM, Rakesh Hammond [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I did as suggested If I type paraview in my bin directory without turning on the VTK_USE_RPATH flag - it complains that it can't find qt libs. As you suggested, if I turn on the RPATH flag then I can run Paraview OK from /home/rakesh/Downloads/Kitware/ParaView-3.4.0/linux/bin when I do make install, my libs are built under /home/rakesh/MyLibraries/Kitware/Paraview/3.4.0 and then go into bin directory and run paraview, I get the following error error while loading shared libraries: libpqComponents.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Can some one please tell me what I am missing here?

[Paraview] vtkGaussianSplatter
All, I have an application which requires the vtkGaussianSplatter filter. I'm assuming I will need to write a plugin for Paraview to add this VTK filter, is this correct? Thanks in advance, John ___ ParaView mailing list ParaView@paraview.org http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] vtkGaussianSplatter
Yes, but the plugin in this case consists only of the XML file which defines the proxy that tells ParaView about the filter. Write that and then load it with via the plugin manager dialog. cheers, Dave On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 3:44 PM, John Vines (CISD/HPCD) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: All, I have an application which requires the vtkGaussianSplatter filter.
