Hi all
Writing a picture sequence with "Save Animation" in ParaView 3.12.0 results in memory overflow and crashes PV. To overcome this problem I installed Paraview 3.14.0. But there I can not visualize the .stl-files despite the format is known in the format select list.
Does anybody know how to write picture sequences without memory problems in PV12? Or does anybody know why PV14 can not read simple .stl-files?
Thnx
Claudio

you can disable
you can disable offscreenrendering in PV3.12
Edit->Settings->Render View [ ]Use Offscreen Rendering for Screenshots
BTW: there is discussion about unstable PV3.14 binary release in the PV-Mailinglist. I confirm that PV3.14 binary crashes with STL-file-series, but my self-compiled works fine (it must be a QT - lib issue) ! You can try to compile PV3.14 from source with your system-qt-libs. Utkarsh said he published new bin-release last time but I did'nt try it yet. (I'm using UBUNTU 10.04)

Thanks
Hi richti
Thanks for help. After disabling offscreen rendering the memory allocation problem seems to be solved.
Additional I could speed up the process by disabling the multi-core option in the settings window.
Cheers

PV 3.14.0./.1 and STL
There is a patch that PV 3.14.X does not crash if you open an ASCII stl file:

How to patch?
Hello
I have the same issue but I'm a Linux-newby. How can I patch my PV 3.14.1? Is there a command like "apt-get install ...."
Thanks in advance.

no you have to build PV from
no you have to build PV from source (this is not trivial) or use a newer binary-release:
http://www.paraview.org/paraview/resources/software.php
(in 3.98 RC 1..) and the cdash nightly builds all patches are applied.
