| Revised Properties Panel
|
* The Properties and Display panel will be combined into a single panel with a mode to show/hide advanced properties.
* The panel will provide searching/filtering capabilities
* Users will be able to pick what widgets are show in the non-advanced mode.
* The framework will be 100% backwards compatible so that old custom panels still "work" although developers would have to reimplement their panels to take advantage of the new functionality such as search,advanced properties, etc.

Name Description Owner Status
UI Improvements
Better Labeling
  • This has been on and off many lists, we really need better labeling support for data. The current mechanism of "selecting and labeling" is cumbersome to say the least.
Packaging/Deployment
ParaView using External-VTK Add support to build ParaView using a pre-built VTK Utkarsh/Marcus active development
Multiblock Improvements
Toggle visibility of individual blocks
  • Provide VTK-level infrastructure to toggle visibility and other properties for individual blocks in a composite dataset.
  • Develop user-interface to allow setting up of properties for individual blocks.
Query Enhancements
Extensions to Find Data Add suport for min/max/mean esp. in parallel
