Topic Suggestions
Add suggestions here, we can then put them on the agenda.
Deprecating Components
- Policy for deprecating code: with changes to Panels and others, we have lot of dead/uncovered/sparing used code. How to deal with it?
- What happens to components like Prism which are not being actively ported to new style?
- How about discarding old panels that don't seem to be used as much e.g. Statistics Inspector
Logging/Tracking
- Better logging/processing of timer logs
- Ability to track memory allocations in VTK
Simplifying Plots
- Making Plots "editable" by interacting in the View rather than having to go to the "View Settings" page.
PVSC Configurations
- Wizards for generating PVSC files?
- included ssh-client? xterm? for open space?
Application Settings
Parallel STL/CSV Writers
- Improve parallel STL CSV writing so that you don't need to collect everything on process 0 (all at once).
- Sounds crazy, but we have a use case to get data in professional graphics tools.
Alan's Talking Points
- ParaView documentation, especially compared to EnSight and VisIt
- Python documentation, especially compared to VisIt.
- ParaView python and scripting. (I will get an e-mail off before then with feedback i heard at SC).
- Statistics. Statistics in parallel. Clearly mark statistics filters that give wrong results in parallel.
- Updating VisIt reader
- 3d view menus. 2d view menus. Toolbars (do we default them off, or on?)
- Efficiently parallelizing CAM reader - and priority.
- Future of Prism
- Do we need another "cleanup release"?
- Probe - interactive. Display X,Y,Z on the 3d view. Display any variable.
- Needed miscellaneous functionality - volume, min, max, average, calculator accessing global data.
- Material interface filter and non AMR data.
- Document how the trace recorder works.
- Create precanned Macros that ship with ParaView?
- Possibly changing the layout of the settings panel to more of a Chrome layout. (This was Utkarsh's idea, I am still on the fence.)
