Summary | 0008558: (Venus - Low ) Calculator formula error is confusing. | ||||||||
Description | We need a better error message to the Output Message window when a user has an error in the formula entry of the calculator. For instance, sources/sphere, then calculator, put nothing in the formula, apply. It is nonsense to a user. | ||||||||

Reporting errors on parsed strings is a funny thing. The user will always have to have a basic knowledge of how the computer is interpreting things to fully understand what went wrong. In essence, the current errors do give fairly specific information of the problem. However, they are lacking a key piece of information: which parameter caused the problem. I added a warning statement to vtkArrayCalculator to inform the user that it was the equation that they typed in that caused the problems and that the previous errors indicate the details on the problem. That should give users enough context to fix the problem. Commit to directory "ParaView3/VTK/Graphics" lies in external project VTK /cvsroot/ParaView3/ParaView3/VTK/Graphics/vtkArrayCalculator.cxx,v <-- vtkArrayCalculator.cxx new revision: 1.44; previous revision: 1.43 |
