Descriptions
These are the deliverables that we expect to complete for ParaView 3.2 (at least in part).
| Deliverable
|
Description
|
Owner
|
| Better testing
|
- Increase coverage
- Test compositing
- Memory checking
|
- Clint (increasing coverage)
- ? (Test compositing)
- All (Testing your new stuff)
|
| Display rearchitecture
|
- Make it easier to add new views.
- Redesign class hierarchy to avoid reimplementing client/server for every view type.
- Integrate with view architecture of Titan.
- Support desktop delivery without MPI as part of this.
|
Utkarsh with Clint helping with Qt
|
| Multi-block
|
Improve multi-block support:
- Multi-block selection
- Multi-block client delivery
- Block inspector
- Volume rendering
Work may continue into ParaView 3.4.
|
Dave D.
|
| Exodus reader
|
- Switch to Dave T.'s new reader (with support for face/edge data).
- Have multi-block output (only if losing no functionality).
- Look into fast temporal plots.
- Support global variables.
- Multiple outputs for main geometry, node/edge/face sets, and global variables?
|
Eric
|
| Exodus writer
|
- Exodus-specific metadata should be maintained.
- Support multiple time steps.
|
Eric
|
| Animation
|
- GUI components for viewing all tracks (perhaps like in ParaView 2 or like a filmstrip keyframe viewer or both).
- Support for viewing multiple animation steps at once (maybe held off until 3.4).
- Filmstrip viewer.
- Comparative vis manager.
- Support disconnect from server, create animation
|
|
| Selection
|
- Selecting points/cells from multiple sources.
- Frustum selection.
- Threshold selection (integrated with histogram bar chart).
- Selecting blocks (and providing some sort of manipulation like turn off).
- Dependent on multiblock functionality.
- Selection based on probe (handle widget). It should support multiple handle widgets.
|
Dave D.
|
| Annotation
|
- Much better labeling of selection and datasets in general.
- We need a way of visually matching a selection and an element inspector.
- ParaView 2 pick showed labels right on rendering.
- Large selections may require multiresolution labeling.
- Better controls on text widgets
- Specify font.
- Line up on corners.
|
Yumin
|
| Spreadsheet view
|
Implement a model for a client side table that allows users to browse their data. It should only bring the portion of that data the user is viewing to the client (or a bigger cache that is still small)
|
Utkarsh and Berk
|
| Line chart/Bar chart
|
- Better labeling and annotation
- Line styles
- Better zoom
- Axis controls
- Specify range, major/minor ticks
- Logarithmic
- Better variable selection on plots
- Automatically unselect ids and time
- Implement select all/none checkbox in header of variable table in display tab (like in exodus reader variable selector).
|
Mark
|
| Support for multiple output
|
- Allow sources with multiple outputs of different types and conceptual meanings.
- Support for custom filters with more than one output.
- Possible support for Exodus reader.
- GUI/Pipeline inspector an open issue.
|
Berk with help from Clint and Mark
|
Here are deliverables that will most likely have to be put off until ParaView 3.4.

|
Description
|
| Array calculator
|
- Incorporate features from VisIt calculator.
- Brainstorm on our own features.
|
| 3D Widgets
|
- It should be possible to snap 3D widget to surface with (P)
- Add box widget
|
| Better error reporting
|
We need much better error reporting.
|
| Custom filters
|
Custom filters are now maybe 70%. They need more work.
|
| Miscellaneous
|
- Texture Mapping.
- Investigate browse/search dialog for adding filters.
