You can cd into any of the subdirectories of the materials/Demos directory and load a ParaView example by typing paraview followed by -state= and then the example's file name. Once this has been done, you should have a materials directory with both a Data and a Demos subdirectory.

Before starting the tutorial you should download and untar the workshop examples file. ParaView can also be run in a client server configuration, often used for viewing extremely large data sets, but this is beyond the scope of this introductory tutorial. See the ParaView Examples web page for more information.įor this tutorial we will be running ParaView locally in what is called “stand-alone” mode. The workshop examples are available for download here: Tar file of the ParaView workshop examples. The examples we will be using were originally developed for the 2008 Workshop on Scientific Visualization and are based upon the example programs and data from Kitware. This tutorial is organized around a set of ParaView visualization examples which are stored as ParaView state files (filename.pvsm). ParaView provides a comprehensive suite of visualization algorithms and supports many different file formats for both loading and exporting data sets. Through exploration and interaction users can quickly build visualizations to analyze their data using qualitative and quantitative techniques. ParaView offers non-programmers much of the capability of VTK without requiring them to write programs. ParaView is an open-source, multi-platform data analysis and visualization application built on top of VTK.
