[gentoo-science] sci-visualization/paraview and netcdf files.

[Bryan Green]

Hello,

I'm looking for insight into loading netcdf files into paraview.
the sci-libs/netcdf library is a dependency of paraview, but
nevertheless, there does not seem to be a CDF reader available
from within paraview.  Can anyone enlighten me as to how to
make one appear?

Thanks,
-bryan

Hi Bryan,

I don't use paraview very much myself so please take
the following with a grain of salt ;)

As far as I know, paraview does not provide any 
GUI functionality to import/export netcdf files despite
the fact that VTK's netcdf wrappers are being built
(this is why we need netcdf as a dependency).
However, have a look at 
http://www.cscs.ch/a-display.php?id=1168
which offers a plugin for paraview (claiming)
to do just that. I have never tried it hence I
can't comment on how good the plugin is.

Best,
Markus

Thanks for the feedback.
It looks like a pain in the butt to get that netcdf reader compiled into
paraview.  I'm going to have to punt.

Thanks anyway,
