Dear Dave,
Many thanks for fixing the Label exporter issue. It does work with 4.1 to get
the text exported into e.g. an SVG. However, the text is always rendered as
paths (always consists of triangles). Is it also possible to have the text being
exported as actual text-fields (like e.g. gnuplot does) that can be edited with
the text-tool in e.g. inkscape?
This would be especially helpful when rendering axes of objects, exporting these
as SVGs and then letting latex render the text when the SVGs are included in an
article (as described here: http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/info/svg-inkscape).
Many thanks again for looking into this

Dear Dave,
Many thanks for Your reply and for opening a bug report. I wonder if it would be
possible to extend the glyph filter to allow rendering text labels as "glyphs"
because the Selection Inspector labelling cannot be save in a state file. If I
do so and want to reload it I get the message:
ERROR: In
/home/utkarsh/Dashboards/MyTests/NightlyMaster/ParaViewSuperbuild-Release/paraview/src/paraview/VTK/IO/XMLParser/vtkXMLParser.cxx,
line 483
vtkPVXMLParser (0x40172f0): Error parsing XML in stream at line 4409, column 38,
byte index 217112: not well-formed (invalid token)
Root does not exist. Either state file could not be opened or it does not
contain valid xml
Case not handled.
I guess though that the problem with the export to vector-graphics would remain
the same.
Many thanks for Your help

Hi Dr. Grothausmann,
This is currently not possible. Some portions of VTK/ParaView still
use methods of drawing text that are not fully compatible with the
GL2PS export mechanism, and unfortunately the selection label renderer
is one of them.
I'll take a look at this case and fix it for the next release. I've
opened a bug report for the issue:
http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=14231
In the meantime, the best solution I can come up with is to manually
add a text source with appropriate text for the labels you care about.
This will be tedious for a large number of labels, but will allow
finer control over label positioning.
Thanks for the report,
Dave

Dear mailing list members,
Is it somehow possible to export selection labels (created with the
Selection Inspector) to an SVG as editable/movable text-objects? When I use
Export Scene from the File-menu the labels are not exported. When I save a
screenshot, they are exported but of course cannot be edited/repositioned.
Or is there any other way to display labels to polydata points (from point
data) such that overlapping labels can be avoided or manually repositioned?
I found many vtk*label* or vtk*text* filter but none seems to do this from
what the description says.
Any help or hints are very much appreciated
Roman
