[Paraview] How can someone insert an image to animation?
Hello everyone! ParaView is very interesting program! Two small questions: 1. Is any possibility to format text or to insert some math symbols? Like this: \epsilon or fm^3. 2. Is any possibility to change color legend extremely, for example, to do nonlinear fragmentation? How can someone insert an image to animation? Thanks to community. -- Andrey Merdeev ___ ParaView mailing list ParaView@paraview.org http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
Re: [Paraview] Csv files and time series
Francois, I've just committed a fix to the CVS head to make it possible to read a file-series of CSV files so that one can animate through them.

EXTERNAL_MODULES : the source files are added to the target for pvfilters. They might be static or dynamic, depending on how your build is configured. The code is compiled into pvfilters, the core of paraview. CMake picks up the file 'NAME'ParaViewImport.cmake and uses it for the sources EXTERNAL_PLUGINS : when BUILD_SHARED_LIBS is ON the source directory for each plugin is supplied and the MACRO add_paraview_plugin is called for each plugin listed passing the source directory in. The CmakeLists.txt file in the directory is used, just as if you were compiling the plugin separately. The plugin is added as a separate target to the paraview build, and appears just like all those overview/prism plugins that are gradually appearing in the build. I develop custom plugins for several institutions (each one has different plugins), and each time I compile paraview for them, I then compile the plugins they need afterwards. Each time, they ask, why can't you just compile the plugins at the same time as paraview. Well now I can. I could have used the EXTERNAL_MODULES feature as well, but as you have seen from emails on this list, there are Fluent, netCDF, OpenDX, blah vlah blah modules out there and many other people weant to use them too and expect to be able to compile the as plugins, not as internal modules. Plugins are in general easier to manage and I don't want to maintain multiple cmakelists files Currently I have 3 setf for each module, and maintaining them is a pain. 1) compile as a vtk filter, (use cmakelists.txt) 2) compile as a plugin (use pv3-plugin/cmakelists.txt) 3) compiles as external_module into paraview (use 'NAME'ParaViewImport.cmake) too much work. 3) is no longer required by me. 2) is nice because changing a plugin is a quicker make than changing paraview source 2) also allows me to use my new external_plugins to compile at pv- compile time just like I used to with 3) I hope this thread is finished now.

The point I was trying to make is how to synchronize the properties of two views. The relationship between my two follow-up questions is that if there is a way to synchronize property links, I can use CameraViewUp and CameraRotation (my second question) property links to link cameras with a constant offset.

There is some specialness with the camera link that causes the renders to be synchronized along with the camera parameters. I know of no easy way to do the same thing with property links (perhaps someone else knows some magic). I'm not sure why you want to. What is the point of implementing a camera link with property links? 2. There is no CameraRotation property.

If I use camera link to link the camears in two views, after I rotate the camera in one view, the other camera will update itself automatically (The two views are exactly the same at all time). However, if I use property link, the other camera won't update itself unless I click on its view area (It needs focus to update). For property link, I only link two properties: CameraPosition and CameraViewUp. Is there a way that I can make the other camera update itself automatically? 2. I can't find any CameraRotation property, is there a way to link the rotation matrix of camera in different views? That means, the two different cameras in the two different views will multiply the same rotation matrix after a rotation. Thanks very much for your time!
