Hi Jian,

for 1.) have a look at my liggghts text- and binary reader at http://web678.public1.linz.at/Drupal/?q=node/681 (you have to register to see the attached files) as a starting point for your own implemention. for 2.) you can use the PointSprite Plugin, I've written a HowTo here: http://web678.public1.linz.at/Drupal/?q=system/files/howto_paraview.pdf

Hello,

I am new to this extremely powerful visualization tool and I use the 3.14 version of paraview binary on windows 7 . Both binary and compiled one on linux.
I could not get the following 2 things to work for me.

1. The xyz and lammps-dump reader comes along with the binary, but I do not see them in the compiled one, why? Then with the binary, I try to load up multi-block xyz or lammps-dump files, I can only get the first frame. I check "Information" tab on the left, the "Index" and "Value" of Time is blank. So there is something wrong. Both the xyz and lammps-dump files are produced by lammps and can be recognized by other visualization software. So I think I need to do something about the readers. So can someone tell me how to get this done? Eventually, I want to be able to add whatever readers in paraview by myself so that I can stop converting hundreds of gigabytes of data from one format to another. First, I want to find the xyz and lammps-dump readers within the source code and try to understand and tweak them. Then I can follow the more comprehensive manual to do more things. I just could not find them in the source folder, can someone point them to me?

2. For publication purpose, I want to render the points as spheres without "masking points". I tried the "sphere" option in "glyph" filter. It worked pretty well when the number of "spheres" were limited to 5000. But when I tried to represent a million atoms with spheres, paraview won't be responding for a long time and I have to kill the process. So I wondering if there is a way that I can present millions of atoms with "sphere" in paraview more efficiently ?

Thanks for your attention

Best,
Jian
