Deliverables
Plotting (Ayachit)
Implemented splitting the view into an empty frame and then fill it up. Also alows making any source into an empty plane.
Histograms now use the same lookup table as the 3D view.
Color map (Richardson)
Still starting out. Learning how to use Amy's widgets that she checked in. Right now you can edit opacity. It allows you to set and build piecewise function.
Multiple outputs (Geveci)
Berk did nothing this week. Berk has been trying to automate the process for creating binaries.
Selection (DeMarle)
Low level selection filters are working and are checked in. He is progressing to have the new selections work in PV3 in the same way that the existing selections work.
The next step is to make the selection data object and the select filters show up in the pipeline.
Plugins (Stimpson/Cedilnik)
Going well. Basic implementation is in there. There is a CMake macro that does everything for you. You can derive from pqObjectPanel to create custom panels and place them in plugins.
Lookmarks (Stanton)
There is a first version of lookmarks checked in. Working on the lookmark inspector. Allows you to edit the name and comments as well as options to use the same file to read as well as other parameters.
New Object View
The consensus is that whenever a, for example, plot is created when a 3D view is selected, a new plot view is created regardless of whether an appropriate one already exists.
Volume Calculation
We have a user that needs to compute the volume of linear cells within a programmable filter. We will create a helper class that will compute the volume of a cell that could be accessed via the python script.
External Modules Broken
There is a generated file called "vtkParaViewIncludeModulesToSMApplication.h". The file is generated and has a bunch of calls to get interfaces. The issue is that we bring the ThreatView functions into ParaView via external modules. Now ParaView is looking for a function with ThreatView in the name that does not exist.
Berk suggested that it might be a problem he ran into with a problem with CMake dependencies. This may be likely because the CMake code in question has not been updated in about a month. Either that, or something is completely broken.
Write Movie Progress
The consensus is that movie progress should be displayed in the normal progress bar. In addition, there should be some button (like a red X) next to the progress bar that allows the user to cancel the operation. Also, the rest of the GUI should be disabled.
