  1. Don't hang the client during Filter/Reader/Writer execution

    It would be nice if the user could still use the UI while the servers are working.

    Corollary: Progress bars!

  3. Add the ability to use different fonts

    Adding latex functionality would also be great, but impractical for some purposes. There are 3 fonts, serif, sans and mono. I am using Ubuntu 10.04 on this computer, and it gives me the options of arial, times and courier, the free ms fonts. The fonts, however, are not arial times and courier. I think they are some of the fonts from my distribution. I installed the ttf-mscorefonts package which installs arial, times etc. from the repositories, but the fonts remain the same.
    I personally would like to choose my own font like Freesans or Nimbus, which both are Helvetica clones. When this matter is dealt with, I don't want to have to use Arial, because I dislike it very much and try to disencourage its usage.
    The graphics are great with antialiasing, but the fonts.
    The places of the text on the color legend also need some fine tuning.

  5. Add a low-pass buttworth filter, FFT and inverse FFT filter for tabular datasets

    If your trying to get acceleration from any explicit FEA a small amount of filtering to the data must be done. Ideally, I would like to run an FFT, truncate the signal to only include low frequency content then run an inverse FFT. I would also like a butterworth low-pass (high order 16-10) filter in order to have a comparison of each method. I believe this is all available for images but not tabular data.

  6. Limit precision in GUI text edits

    Right now the text boxes in the GUI can display numbers of pretty much any precision. Although in general this is a good thing, it get really annoying if the boxes are displaying numbers with too much precision to fit in the text box. For example, if you rotate the camera with the mouse and then go the the Adjust Camera dialog, all the text boxes under Camaera Positions have a crazy amount of precision that makes it impossible to really read the numbers and hard to edit them. This happens in many other places in the GUI such as in the 2D widgets associated with a 3D widget and numbers generated from data like the auto generated scale factor in the Glyph panel.

  7. Add scroll bar to the 'Fix Paths in State File' GUI

    Add scroll bar to the 'Fix Paths in State File' GUI so that the GUI does not extend beyond the edge of your monitor making it impossible to fix the path names associated with a session for the files that are forced outside of the extents of the monitor.

  8. Correct wireframe for quadratic elements in multi-core mode

    Wireframe (or surface with wireframe) representation does not work with quadratic elements when in multi-core mode. The cause is that quadratic wireframe is not supported when geometry is shipped from server to client (which is implicitly the case for multi-core mode). See bug 10676, the bug that originally implemented correct quadratic wireframes, for more details on this unimplemented case.

  10. Add a time range selection on filters input, in particular, for the temporal statistics filter

    A lot of simulations have a transient period, interesting but not relevant for statistics. In addition, it could be useful to not "download" these data: a kind of new time origin.

  11. Add setting to change your default volume fraction for imported volume arrays.

    When importing spcth databases from CTH into paraview, the "Extract CTH Parts" filter is used to extract each material. The default volume fraction is set to 0.1, but I generally need mine to be at 0.5. It would be great to have an option to manually set the default volume fraction so that that step of adjusting the volume fraction for each material could be eliminated for most cases.

  12. Add to the calc'r filter a running min/max function

    In a transient calculation it can be informative to see the maximum (minimum) value at a point (cell) up to the present time.

  13. Table to X filters should support 2D data

    The table to points and tabled to structured data require separate columns for x, y, and z coordinates. However, sometimes you are only representing 2D data (or even perhaps 1D data). It should be possible set any of the X, Y, Z Columns to something like "None" so that that coordinate is just filled with 0's.

  14. Screenshot in fullscreen mode

    I'd like to do a screenshot in fullscreen. At the moment, this is a bit tedious: I have to use two screens. On the 2nd monitor, a Phyton shell can be opened, and while displaying the picture on the 1st monitor, I can enter the "WriteImage" command in the Phyton shell.

    Ok, that works, but I think, there must be a simpler solution. What about connecting the screenshot menu item with a keyboard shortcut, so it can be activated any time?

  16. being able to save selection.

    it would be extremely useful to being able to save a selection, either in a separate file or in the current state. also the order of the selection should remain the same.

    Can you elaborate on the use-cases where this becomes necessary? That’ll help us determine how we could support this feature.

  17. Stereo mode for FPR (film pattern retard) passive stereo 3D TV (LG's)?

    What stereo mode should I use to display on FPR (film pattern retard) passive stereo 3D TV (LG's)? I've tried every --stereo-type with 3.10.1 but could not find.

  19. Hi. Could you post some recommended hardware configurations?

    It would be really useful to know how to divide up a £2K/£4K/£6K spend on a workstation optimized for paraview 3D rendering - is it worth spending on lots of multi-core CPUs? Lots of RAM presumably - is it worth spending ~£3K on a CAD level GPU with 6GB of memory? There doesn't appear to be much easy to access info on this on the web (maybe buried somewhere)....

  20. Extend FileSeriesReaderProxy for files named by Date & Time

    Extend ParaView's FileSeriesReaderProxy to step through files named by date & time rather than by integers in a filename.

    This documentation explains how to use FileSeriesReaderProxy to animte over files named foo1.xyz, foo2.xyz, ... fooN.xyz.
    http://paraview.org/Wiki/AnimatinglegacyVTKfileseries

    However, this doesn't work with filesnamed by date and time (Year-Month-Day-Hour-Minute-Second):
    foo1995-03-21T00-00-00.xyz
    foo    1995-03-21T01-00-00.xyz
    ...
    foo1995-03-21T23-00-00.xyz
    foo    1995-03-22T00-00-00.xyz
    ...

    Inspired from discussions on the mailing list http://www.paraview.org/pipermail/paraview/2010-December/019663.html
