Re: [Paraview] using netcdf in paraview

Build paraview as usual, ignore all the guff about PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES, remove this from your paraview build, remove any CSCS addons you might have specified from paraview 'core' build.

Then build a new new project which will be plugins, using the cmakelists from the root of CSCS stuff. Enter the paraview build dir, enable CSCSCommon and netcdf, (netcdf will pick up common when it needs it - fingers crossed).

then try making it all. Of course it won't actually work, but that's what I've been trying to say all week!
When it fails, ask Burlen for his netCDF adaptor stuff from visit and we can all get on with other stuff...

John,

I must be missing something.  I did as you specified below, then went to
the ParaView directory,
Ran ccmake several times, enabling the correct options per the CSCS web
site(PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES,
PARAVIEW_USE_CSCSNetCDF, and the source directory variable) , and ran
make, but again, the same include file was not located, even though I
see it is there in the vtkCSCS directory tree.


Was I supposed to run ccmake under the vtkCSCS trunk before running
ccmake for ParaView?  I did try to do this,
Only to get an error concering "Policy" and the directions for resolving
the error were unclear.

I am a novice concerning ccmake, as the first time I have used it was
last week.

Thanks.

My Bad. One of the changes I made to the netCDF code was to handle
series of files (one file per process, or one per timestep) using
another class in vtkCSCSCommon Best thing is check out all of it from
here...
https://svn.cscs.ch/vtkContrib/trunk/vtkCSCS/
and use the cmakelists in the root pv3-plugins folder.
you need CSCSCommomn and netCDF enabled.

Fix the netCDF reader and send me the patches please :)

JB

Katie,

I was able to check out vtkNetCDF from the SVN server; I had tried 
before using the web site's instructions, but it wouldn't work, I 
suppose because of our firewall; however the "https" in the URL that 
Mr. Biddiscome gave us did make a difference.

However, when I attempted to build ParaView 3.4 with that vtkNetCDF 
module, I got an error once again, this time when for 
vtkNetCDFReader.cxx; what is missing is FileSeriesFinder.h.

I cannot find that include file anywhere, in ParaView3.4, ParaView3.3,

etc, so I don't know if it was inadvertently left out of the vtkNetCDF

distribution or what.

Just looking again at the error messages makes me realize thet you're 
using a very old vtkCSCSnetCDF the version in here 
https://svn.cscs.ch/vtkContrib/trunk/vtkCSCS/vtkNetCDF/ is much more 
recent and will at least compile without errors. It ewas intended for 
meteo data (ocean/atmosphere) and so you should get something out of 
it but the changes I made a few months back will have broken the core 
load of data depending on which convention you are using.
My intention was to create subclasses for each supported convention, 
rather than try to support all of them with aton of options - which is

what the current reader does. If you're familiar with vtk code, you'll

son work out how to fix it.
I'll take a look at again it in a few weeks.

JB


	Hmmm. It sounds like there is version mismatch between ParaView

and

	the plugin. We deprecated those classes not long ago. Are you

using

	cvs ParaView?

		Hi there. I'm trying to read netcdf data into paraview,

but am

having lots
		of issues. I was following these directions (from here:
	
http://www.cscs.ch/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=96&Itemid
=1
32):
		
		Please build ParaView using the CMake advanced option
		PARAVIEW_EXTRA_EXTERNAL_MODULES set to CSCSNetCDF rerun

configure

and set
		PARAVIEW_USE_CSCSNetCDF to ON, then rerun configure and

enter the

name of
		the directory where the source has been extracted.
		Build paraview and the netCDF reader should be embedded.
		Building as a vtk module is supported, documentation

will be

provided as
		soon as possible. (Some changes have recently been made

which may

break the
		existing build, these will be fixed shortly).
		
		But when we make Paraview, it's not finding a bunch of

files

		(vtkMultiGroupDataInformation.h, vtkMultiGroupDataSet.h,
		vtkMultiGroupSetAlgorithm.h).
		
		Any advice on how to make this work? Or maybe a better

way to read

in netcdf
		files?
		
		Thanks,
		Katie
