  • Status changed from accepted to verify
  • Resolution set to fixed

You can now use the Vates simple interface via MantidPlot. The caveat is that you must have ParaView installed and the plugin paths setup correctly. To use: fire up MantidPlot and create a MDEventWorkspace by LoadSQW or OneStepMDEW. Right click on the workspace and click Show Vates Simple Interface. Play. NOTE: Only one display is available to a ParaView "limitation", so bringing up the interface on another workspace will dump the previous one and show the new one.

comment:21 Changed 9 years ago by Janik Zikovsky

when I try to run the vates simple interface within Mantidplot I get a crash with: 

ERROR: In /home/8oz/Code/ParaView/Servers/ServerManager/vtkSMProxyManager.cxx, line 374
vtkSMProxyManager (0x4c57060): No proxy that matches: group=sources and proxy=MDEW Source were found.


Failed to create proxy:  "sources" ,  "MDEW Source" 
Segmentation fault

Perhaps a bad setup on my part?

comment:23 Changed 9 years ago by Janik Zikovsky

PV_PLUGIN_PATH needs to point to the pvplugins folder.

OK it works if you have PV_PLUGIN_PATH. Added ticket #3755 to avoid this crash (if possible), but this ticket is working. Looks nice!
