ParaView Web

Introduction

ParaViewWeb, is a Web framework to build applications with interactive scientific visualization inside the Web browser. Those applications can leverage a VTK and/or ParaView backend for large data processing and rendering.

Examples

There are example prototypes that have been built using the ParaViewWeb framework. Here is a webpage that has 4 of them - https://pvw.kitware.com/.

Visualizer

Click on the Visualizer icon. This brings up a web client, connecting to a backend server located at Kitware headquarters, in Clifton Park, New York.

In the upper left corner are menu options. Running from the left side, these icons are:

• Pipeline view.
• Open File. Note that this is wherever the server is located. In this example, it is in New York state.
• Filters. This is a subset of the ParaView Filters.
• Save Screenshot. This will save locally.
• Information. This will give information for whatever filter is selected in the pipeline browser.
• Server settings. Generally speaking, leave this alone.
• Reset View

Example with can.exo. Open can.exo.
