The x-axis extents auto populated based on my structured 1D grid size. I did have to set the Resolution property higher to capture all of my data. In other words, the default resolution setting has nothing to do with the mesh resolution.</div><div><br></div><div>-Noah</div><div><br></div><img height="833" width="1520" apple-width="yes" apple-height="yes" apple-inline="yes" id="DCA5E9F9-A556-45A8-B15F-E6E89AFFFD2B" src="cid:53CFD4B1-9732-4FD6-A0F8-B113DF6B78CF@dhcp4.washington.edu"><br><div><div>On May 20, 2014, at 10:01 PM, Noah Reddell <<a href="mailto:reddell@uw.edu">reddell@uw.edu</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=windows-1252"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><div>Hi ParaView users.</div><div><br></div><div>I’m creating a utility to convert my 1D, 2D, or 3D high-order finite element data into structured point data for ParaView. The script is written in Python and I am using the <a href="https://bitbucket.org/pauloh/pyevtk">EVTK</a> module’s high-level API, evtk.hl.gridToVTK().</div><div><br></div><div>This EVTK interface requires providing structured x, y, and z coordinates. For 1D, and 2D data, I set the mesh and data extent in the upper dimension(s) to one node with coordinate zero. This makes a line or plane, but sort of described in 3D.</div><div><br></div><div>This technique works for 2D. When I load the data set, ParaView switches to 2D camera view and displays my mesh and data.</div><div>For my 1D data, nothing is displayed. The 3D camera view comes up. I think I can manipulate the view to show me the linear mesh extent, but I can’t display the data. <b>I actually want to display the data in the ParaView Line Plot mode. How can I do that?</b></div><div>(I’m using ParaView 4.1 on Mac.)</div><div><br></div><div>The attached vts file is an example sinusoid versus x. You can see in the screenshot that the Tabular view shows the data correctly. So, I think my script and vtk file are reasonably correct. Of course, the pseudo-3D data representation is sort of a hack I’m trying.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks for your thoughts!</div><div><br></div><div>-Noah</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><span><paraview_1D_evtk_grab.jpg></span><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"></div><span><structured_data_from_evtk_1D.vts></span><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html charset=us-ascii"><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space;"></div></blockquote></div><br></body></html>
