Going beyond the basics

Hopefully this tutorial has given you a taste of what Paraview is capable of. Paraview can do much more than demonstrated here, and applied in many more areas or disciplines than detailed in this tutorial.

One aspect that is worthy of further exploration is that of Paraview’s Python interface. This allows the user to embed Python within Paraview, so that they can draw in their own analysis tools and integrate them with Paraview. This is very powerful, as it allows effectively allows Paraview’s functionality to be extended far beyond its already sizeable tool set.

Furthermore, Paraview can be run without the graphical user interface at all, and process data in batch mode. To do this, the command pvpython is used. This is a particularly useful option for processing large datasets on HPC clusters.

If you are interested in exploring Paraview further, one of the best places to start is the official Paraview User Guide. This can be found at:

• docs.paraview.org/en/latest/UsersGuide

In addition there are the self-directed tutorials, which will walk you through all aspects of Paraview. You can find those here:

• docs.paraview.org/en/latest/Tutorials/SelfDirectedTutorial

Wishing you the best in your future Paraview endeavours,

– The ACENET team.
