Deliverables

Tables (Utkarsh)

• Make vtkTables a supported pipeline object type.

  Done.

  • It should have its own icon in the pipeline browser.

  • The default view should probably be spreadsheet.

    Done.

• Plotting filters (plot over line, plot over time, histogram) should output tables.

  Histogram outputs tables. Plot over time should be doing multiblock of tables. Need to check the rest of the data analysis plotting filters.

• csv readers/writers should work principally (perhaps exclusively) with tables.

  Readers read in data into tables. Writers can write out tables.

  Want to support writing out any data set as a csv by selecting what to write.

• Simple conversion from tables to other data (such as collection of points).

Temporal Cleanup (Berk)

• Show temporal bounds of all datasets in statistics view (or elsewhere)
• Show continuous data set temporal bounds in info page
• Plot/Probe over time, results should very in Sequence, Snap, and Real Time modes

Not started yet. John Biddiscombe has been looking at it.

Particle Support (Zhanping/John Biddiscombe)

• Provide a particle representation that renders points more intelligently
  • Spheres with size vs. squares of pixel width
  • Optional sizing based on a scalar
  • Appropriate alpha blending (at least when particles are small)
  • Splatting?
• Filters for meshless data? (Need to get customer requirements.)
  • Sampling point cloud?
  • Surface extraction?
