Ah, excellent -- I put that link into the page for the corresponding video 
lecture as well. Thanks for posting it!

Hi guys,

Thanks a lot for your quick response!
By downloading the executables I've got both VisIt and ParaView working
now. Regarding to ParaView tutorials I found this

and it looks very good so far.

FYI,
ParaView 5.8 on arch linux 5.5.13-arch2-1
VisIt 3.1 on ubuntu 18.04 (gonna try build VisIt on arch again when 3.1.2
is released

thanks again,
best regards,
Greg

Re: [deal.II] visualization tool alternatives?

[Felipe Orellana]

Hi Greg,

 I am a Paraview user. As far as I know.. almost everything you can do
in Paraview can be done in Visit and the reciprocal viceversa
statement is also true.

 There may be some features or processes for which one software is
better than the other. But I am unaware.

  Sometimes, the versions of a software, coupled with your OS and its
version, may cause issues, or favors.. (e.g. I have tried three of
these combinations, and my most favorable has been Paraview 4.4.0 over
Ubuntu 14.04).

let us know how you progress.

cheers,
Felipe

On the Visit website, there is a "Download" section where you can get binaries 
for common platforms. That's what everyone uses, given that building is such a 
pain.


Paraview is the other big alternative (see Felipe's answe), and there's also a 
video lecture that explains its user interface.

[deal.II] visualization tool alternatives?

[rpresley716]

Hi,

I was wondering if there is alternative visualization tool other than VisIt 
introduced and recommended in the tutorials? I didn't successfully build 
 the visit despite of 
opting for the minimal build. I also tried the VTK option of GLVis (which 
is based on the MFEM library) and it doesn't seem to be working (according 
to its official VTK documentation it seems to be exclusively dealing with 
mesh files)

Thanks for your time in advance,

Best regards,
Greg
