SNL: LOD Compositing parameters broken
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The default Compositing parameters are broken. I believe that LOD threshold is also. This one is kind of irratic. Here is how I can consistantly reproduce it.
Linux, client/server. 2 nodes (which is 4 processors). Thunderbird (but any other client/server should show it.)
Dataset - g1s1-10fps.e.16.00 to 15, so 16 files. Each file is about 4 mbyte in size.
Run ParaView 2.6.0 (and I believe 2.6.1). 3d View Properties/ LOD Parameters.
- Turn Subsample rate to 20 pixels. Select subsample rate button to on.
- Turn Compositing to "above 0.6 MBytes". Turn Compositing to on.
Exit Paraview. Open ParaView. Open g1s1-10fps.e.16.00 dataset. Look at information. Memory should be 4.3 MBytes. Grab and rotate the object. It is not compositing (which shows up a REALLY big pixels) Turn all element variables ON. Accept. Grab and rotate the object. It is compositing. Turn all element variables OFF. Accept. Grab and rotate the object. It is still compositing.
After restarting ParaView, this same pattern repeats, even if you load in one variable rather than all.
We are seeing this on many VERY large datasets.
Let me know if you don't have g1s1.
