| Summary | 0002289: Wrong CMAKE option for ParaView OpenGL2 backend in etc/tools/ParaViewFunctions | ||||
| Description | The new OpenGL2 rendering backend is not compiled in, because the name of the CMAKE option in file etc/tools/ParaViewFunctions is wrong. It says in http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_Release_Notes#New_Rendering_Engine that the CMAKE option to set is called "VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND", however in ParaViewFunctions it is called "VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND_DEFAULT" and it is not picked up. The following changes fixes the problem: change # Choose the new rendering engine addCMakeVariable "VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND_DEFAULT=OpenGL2" to # Choose the new rendering engine addCMakeVariable "VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL2" After recompiling, the new rendering engine is used (ie Legacy rendering mode is no longer displayed). | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Compiling ParaView 5.x with makeParaView | ||||
| Tags | No tags attached. | ||||

I can't believe I missed that! Weirder still is that I wrote about a workaround on how to use OpenGL instead (seen here https://openfoamwiki.net/index.php/Installation/ParaView/FAQ ), because inside a virtual machine it was choosing OpenGL2 by default and it was giving me the following: Error message: "GL version 2.1 with the gpu_shader4 extension is not supported by your graphics driver" So in my case it had selected the OpenGL v2 by default! By the way, a workaround until this is fixed in the ThirdParty folder is to use this as an option for the "makeParaView" script, for example: ./makeParaView VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL2 Or: ./makeParaView VTK_RENDERING_BACKEND=OpenGL |
