-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2012-3086 2012-03-06 19:03:20 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : paraview Product : Fedora 15 Version : 3.14.0 Release : 2.fc15 URL : http://www.paraview.org/ Summary : Parallel visualization application Description : ParaView is an application designed with the need to visualize large data sets in mind. The goals of the ParaView project include the following: * Develop an open-source, multi-platform visualization application. * Support distributed computation models to process large data sets. * Create an open, flexible, and intuitive user interface. * Develop an extensible architecture based on open standards. ParaView runs on distributed and shared memory parallel as well as single processor systems and has been successfully tested on Windows, Linux and various Unix workstations and clusters. Under the hood, ParaView uses the Visualization Toolkit as the data processing and rendering engine and has a user interface written using a unique blend of Tcl/Tk and C++. NOTE: The version in this package has NOT been compiled with MPI support. Install the paraview-openmpi package to get a version compiled with openmpi. Install the paraview-mpich2 package to get a version compiled with mpich2. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update Information: These notes give a summary of the major additions to this release. The detailed change-log can be found at http://paraview.org/Bug/changelog_page.php. 'Find Data' dialog used to select elements using queries has been totally redesigned. The new design makes it possible to use complex queries to select elements including combining multiple test cases using boolean operations. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Query_Data. A new 'Memory Inspector' panel was added to make it easier for users running on large cluster to identify and debug memory related issues by providing a mechanism to track the memory used on all the nodes. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Memory_Inspector. Extending ParaView's charting capabilities, we have added a new scatter plot matrix view, allowing visualization of multiple dimensions of your data in one compact form, allowing you to spot patterns in the small scatter plots, change focus to those plots of interest and perform basic selection. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Displaying_Data#Plot_Matrix_View. The color editor used to edit lookup tables/color tables used for scalar mapping was completely redesigned to enable editing the color and opacity functions independently. Additionally, one can now specify smoothly varying opacity functions very easily. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Displaying_Data#Color_Transfer_Functions. Also, when coloring with an unsigned char array representing RGBA, it's now possible to render polygonal geometry using the opacity specified by the alpha component of the scalar array. To make it easier to deal with a large number of views at the same time, ParaView now supports creating multiple tabs for placing views. This enables rapid switching of views laid out on a tile-display by simply switching the active tab. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Displaying_Data#Multiple_Views. With improvements to the view layout framework, it is now possible to change the layout of views using Python. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting#Updating_View_Layout. 3.14 includes enhancements to the Plugin framework enabling developers to provide documentation for their plugins. The documentation for the plugins shows up in the default application help window accessible from the Tools menu. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Adding_Documentation_for_Plugins. ParaView Server Configuration Script (pvsc) files is the de-facto mechanism in ParaView to connect to different remote computing sites. With 3.14, we have added a pvsc distribution mechanism that makes it easier for site maintainers and ParaView users alike to distribute/obtain configuration files for different sites. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Distributing_Server_Configuration_Files. Several other usability enhancements were made to this release. For example, it is now possible to easily copy values such as ranges, bounds, etc. from the information tab, statics inspector, spreadsheet view, to the clipboard. To make it easier to find items in variables lists and trees, one can use Ctrl+F to popup a search widget that searches through the selected widget. More information: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Users_Guide/Introduction#Features. Also all inspector panels including information tab, display tab and, properties tab are now dockable. This release also includes two new experimental features: * Collaboration: this adds support to connect multiple clients to the same server (pvserver) for collaborative visualization. * Multi-Servers: this adds support to the ParaView client to connect to multiple remote servers at the same time to build separate pipelines on the connected servers using the same client. Note that these are both experimental features and should be considered as 'alpha'.
