Hello,
our team (11 students from the university of Stuttgart) is trying to build a geovisualization environment on top of paraview. Right now we're planning the architecture, which is quite difficult as no one of us has any previous experience with paraview. We discovered the class vtkGeoView and wondered if we could integrate this view into the paraview UI. If possible we would like to combine this view with other data loaded into the paraview pipeline. Otherwise we would need to re-write the whole vtkGeoView with LoD and dynamic loading because the whole globe hi-res texture is probably too big to load it into the RAM at once - even if not some other large data sets need to fit in there as well. We would like to avoid this of course. Another approach we discussed was to tile the globe for different zoom levels and load only those currently displayed, but we could not find an automated way to reload geometry based on the camera position. Pointers to useful development resources (other than the official paraview guide, documentation, wiki and examples) are appreciated as well. Thank you for your time, Tobias Beeh _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Search the list archives at: http://markmail.org/search/?q=ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://public.kitware.com/mailman/listinfo/paraview
