Re: [Paraview] VTK File Format Question

Hi Jeff, the points coordinates are implicit which mean that once you defined your grid by its size/spacing/origin, your are fine. And the only thing that is missing is the data that you try to show. Those data can be located at each point of the grid or at the center of each cell (cell: small

I have large multi-level hierarchies of vtkMultiBlockDataSet with FieldData and I have tried to reproduce what you describe as a bug and was not able to do so. My FieldData was cleanly copied (passed over) when using PointDataToCellData followed by CellDataToPointData. My only idea is that

This sounds like a bug. I'll take a look at it. -berk On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 6:48 AM, R M mlok...@yahoo.fr wrote: Hi, I don't add the FieldData to the blocks but to the vtkMultiBlockDataSe that contains the blocks. -- *De :* Favre Jean jfa...@cscs.ch *À :* R

Assuming that you are defining a uniform rectilinear grid, you need STRUCTURED_POINTS. As for defining opacity, what is your goal? To do volume rendering? Other than when using volume rendering, opacity does not have any effect. If you need to define an arbitrary set of cubes, you probably need

One most of my machines paraview behaves reasonably normally, but on one machine running windows 7 64 (which has identical Qt, identical paraview, identical plugins to another that is running XP 64 and behaves normally) whenever I try to create something which appears on screen (e.g. cone

This is great, thanks Berk and Sebastien. Yes, I am trying to do volume rendering. My dataset represents a 3D grid occupancy map, where each cell has a specified likelihood of occupancy. I'd like to render that as a set of unit cells, where the opacity is directly related to the likelihood of

What you need is to volume render cell data instead of point data. Unfortunately, ParaView does not support volume rendering of cell data in images. However, it supports volume rendering of cell data in unstructured grids. Try this: - Create a STRUCTURED_POINTS with cell data - Load it - Apply

Hey, cool, I just tried that on some test data, and it looks like it might do the trick. I do have a rather large dataset, but I'll try both this and Sebastian's suggestion and see what happens. Thanks! -Jeff On Dec 13, 2010, at 15:31 , Berk Geveci wrote: What you need is to volume render
