Selection inspector shows incorrect data
This issue was created automatically from an original Mantis Issue. Further discussion may take place here.
The selection inspector displays incorrect data. I cannot replicate this on the trunk, because I get a seg fault using the Object Inspector. Thus, this bug is for PV 3.2.1.
*Open ParaView 3.2.1.
*Open can.exo. Select all variables ON.
*Display representation: Surface with edges.
*Rotate the can so you are seeing the "inside".
*View/Selection inspector on.
*Click on - Select Points On. Rubber band select the two points on the face of the block, upper left corner, and the one right of that. They should be points 9857 and 9741. Alternately, select some point, then change the Indexes in the Selection Inspector.
-
In the Selection inspector, slide down and select the Point Label Tab. Click Visible. (ParaView trunk as of March 18th dies a very bad death right here.)
-
Where it says Label Mode, select ACCL. Rotate the screen so you can see the numbers.
-
Split vertical. Spreadsheet view.
-
Filters/ Data analysis/ Extract Selection. Copy Active Selection. Apply. Expand the ACCL column.
The spreadsheet view and the selection inspector's displayed data don't agree. I assume that the spreadsheet view is correct, I am convinced that the displayed data is bogus. I believe that the XYZ data is being rotated somehow - i.e., it is sometimes being presented as YZX
This is a bad bug, since we have users that are starting to use the data on the screen as real.
