ParaView 3.0 Deliverables

Jump to navigationJump to search
| Deliverable | Description | Priority |
|---|---|---|
| Dynamic default parameters | ParaView 2 has lots of custom GUI code for filter parameters. ParaView 3 relies much more on server manager XML code and autogenerated panels. Missing from the new panels is the ability to vary parameters based on the size of the input geometry. This is very important in some filters such as the streamlines filter. | 5 |
| Annotation | Much of the annotation abilities in ParaView 2 are missing in ParaView 3 (corner annotation, turninging off axis annotation, annotation with time value) and some new features (labels on specific cells). | 5 |
| New time support | Ken Martin has recently updated the time support in VTK. We need to take advantage of that in ParaView 3. For example, we move the time setting parameters from reader parameters to pipeline keys. | 5 |
| Pipeline browser improvements | Already our pipeline browser is much better than its predecessor. However, there still some improvements to go. Of special importance are feature gaps like handling multiple inputs. | 5 |
| Animation | We need to reimplement all of the Animation GUI features of ParaView 2. | 5 |
| Readers/filters | The backbone of ParaView needs to be tight. | 5 |
| Data analysis | Get back legacy features of picking by point Id and doing plot of point or cell variable over time. | 5 |
| Volume rendering GUI | Reimplement the ParaView 2 transfer function editors. | 4 |
| Icons | 'Knuff said. | 4 |
| Custom filters/lookmarks | Lots of old features, lots of new features. | 4 |
| Linking | Add GUI to link server manager proxy objects (such as camera view and pipeline object parameters). | 4 |
| Plotting | We got the nice charts, now make them really useful. | 4 |
| Testing | Testing, testing, and more testing. | 4 |
| Support for multiple outputs | Multiple outputs are useful for lookmarks/custom filters. It would also be nice to have node sets and side sets be handled as multiple outputs on the Exodus filter. | 3 |
| Color map improvements | Improve the GUI. Manage connections between views. | 3 |
| Undo/redo stability pass | It's a new feature. Make sure it works right. | 3 |
| Display re-architecture | Make it easier to add new views. As the infovis comes online, we will be making many new views we need to integrate into ParaView and its vertical apps. | 3 |
| Modules/plugins | Rearchitect the "Load Module" feature and make it better. | 3 |
| Documentation | Make online documentation available. | 3 |
| Selection | Fix bugs and add features. | 3 |
| Better python | Support for python wrapping and V&V support. | ? |
| Multi-block support | Improve multi-block support and make Exodus reader output multiblock. | 1 |
