[Paraview] Custom application reading live-data

2011-05-22 Thread Bastien Purnelle
Hi,

I want to develop an custom application based on Paraview in order to read a 
live-data from an extern C++ class and display a graphical view of this data.
I have written this code thanks to an example :

myMainWindow::myMainWindow(QWidget* parentObject,
  Qt::WindowFlags wflags) : Superclass(parentObject, wflags)
{
  Ui::myMainWindow ui;
  ui.setupUi(this);

  // Get access to the for standard paraview views.
  pqPluginManager* pgm = pqApplicationCore::instance()->getPluginManager();
  pgm->addInterface(new pqStandardViewModules(pgm));

  // Make a connection to the builtin server
  pqApplicationCore* core = pqApplicationCore::instance();
  core->getObjectBuilder()->createServer(pqServerResource("builtin:"));

  // Create render view
  pqRenderView* view = qobject_cast(
pqApplicationCore::instance()->getObjectBuilder()->createView(
  pqRenderView::renderViewType(),
  pqActiveObjects::instance().activeServer()));
  pqActiveObjects::instance().setActiveView(view);

  // Set it as the central widget
  this->setCentralWidget(view->getWidget());

  pqApplicationCore::instance()->showOutputWindow();
}

Now I want to access to the pipeline and to put data into it. Could someone 
help me, because I don't see how to do this.
Thanks...

Bastien

Re: [Paraview] Problems with 'interpolate scalars before mapping' in v3.10

2011-05-22 Thread Nenad Vujicic
Hello everyone,

Just to announce - the problem is solved! It seems the problem was in
plugin's sources when setting texture coordinates data. So, if in
vtkMyExporter.cpp I remove

tex_coord_data->SetNumberOfComponents(1);

or set number of components to 2, correct texture will be generated!

Thanks everyone on Your help!

Best regards,
Nenad.

 Dear Utkarsh,

 I uploaded test plugin that shows my problem at
 http://alas.matf.bg.ac.rs/~mr00053/projects/PVTest.zip.

 After I build and load the plugin from Qt client, I load
 disk_out_ref.ex2, select "H2" for mapping scalars, check Interpolate
 Scalars on Display tab in Object inspector and go on File->Export
 (select .my file). I get 6 message boxes which report 0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 1
 (instead of 0, 0, 0, 0, 1, 1) as values for
 vtkMapper::InterpolateScalarsBeforeMapping. So, here is first
 question: "How to create multiple vtkActor objects from
 vtkCompositePolyDataMapper2's input"? I thought that vtkMyExporter.cpp
 Ln 138-162 should be fine, but uploaded sources shows different.

 Thanks,
 Nenad.

[Paraview] what is streamingParaview ?

2011-05-22 Thread Bastien Purnelle
Hi

I'am developing an interface between and application producing live-data and 
paraview that display this data.
I have downloaded Paraview source from patmarion github and I found into the 
folder Application the folder StreamingParaView.
I would like more explanation about this application in order to develop my own 
application that is able to update view with new data send by my application 
producing data.

Thank you

Bastien
