[Paraview] Ghost data in parallel formats

2011-03-01 Thread Renato Elias
Hi everybody, just a (very) simple question: Which Paraview/VTK file readers already have full support for ghost/halo data when running in parallel? thanks ps.: In fact, I'd like to figure out how I could get rid of my parallel interfaces among partitions. -- Renato N. Elias

All readers should support ghost cells as long as: - They support cell data - They support unsigned char data (Note: you need ghost cells not points for this to work). All you have to do is to add a cell array called vtkGhostLevels to your data. Cells that are internal should have a value of

Hi Berk, thanks for your answer. I think I'm missing something you said cells only?! If I understood this subject correctly, a cell should be considered ghost if it's held by more than one partition/process, isn't it?! In this case, there'll be an overlapped layer of elements. The problem is

Berk: Do you have the ability to mark a node as owned by one partition and as ghost on other partitions? Yes! We classify processes as master and slaves according to their ranking numbers. After this we can assign the shared node to a master (which will take care of shared computations) and

Great. Ping me in a 2-3 months - we should have started making changes to the ghost level stuff by then. Until then, you should be able to use D3 to redistribute data and generate (cell) ghost levels as needed. So the following should work reader - D3 - extract surface -berk On Tue, Mar 1, 2011

Hi I'm trying to build 2 independent views with the option of independent filtering *and *joined filtering of the same data/object. I want 2 users to use ParaView with independent head-tracking, allow them to independently apply filters to the same dataset, have the option of sharing the filters

pqVRPNStarter.cxx is only looking at the active view and that too the active view when the plugin was loaded and hence it works only with 1 view. You can access all available views from API on pqApplicationCore::instance()-getServerManagerModel() (findItems). pqServerManagerModel also fires

Greg, I think we all agree with you here. The discussion of the padding was not intended to be a justification for image inconsistencies. Rather it is intended to help us identify what is causing the problems and try to prevent reintroducing more grievous artifacts that the padding was

[Paraview] Using streamtracer/gradient filters on multi-block data set

2011-03-01 Thread Sohail Shafii
Hi, I've read in a CAS file, which Paraview read in a Multi-block dataset, which contains within it a unstructured grid. Initially I had a problem where all of the data items were one-tuple arrays.  So I created a UVW (3-tuple velocity) array and added it to the pipeline this way using a

2011-03-01 Thread Berk Geveci
By any chance, does this multi-block dataset contain a block that does not have arrays (scalars and/or vectors)? That's probably why those filters are disabled. You can always use Extract Blocks to extract the block you are interested in and then apply the filter. As for the Programmable Filter,
