vtk postprocessing, color gradient

[bernd]

I was just playing with the vtk postprocessing.

Could someone confirm the following for the color gradient:

- changing Maximum and Minimum is not working at all
- changing Decimals is not working at all

Hi Bernd,

what is your VTK release ? Looks like to work on mine (7)

It works for me. But I found another bug. Set minimum at 0 and maximum at 2500 click OK. Double click the color bar to reopen the dialog. Maximum has changed to 2,500. Click OK. I get a pop-up that says "The maximum value must be higher than the minimum value" changing maximum to 2500 and clicking OK works. I'm English language US locale.

Thanks you guys for testing.

Same FreeCAD (same downloaded package from github dev releases), same OS, only difference seams english language and us locale, I'm on swiss german language und locale. I need to test on my Debian Jessie too.

Is there someone out there who has the same problem like me? Not working min max values in vtk color bar?

BTW: We had problems in the regard of locale a few times. Does it make sence to include this information in the FreeCAD about dialog?

[bernd]

to make sure I did it the right way. Here is what I did.

- Start FreeCAD
- change to Start WB and load the FEM 3D example
- Select the result object and click on "Creeates Post Processing Pipline"
- Double click on the new pipline
-- Mode --> Nodes
-- Field --> Stress
-- ok
-- colorbar min = 11.639
-- colorbar max = 409.766
- Double click on the colorbar
-- Change maximum to 300
-- Change minimum to 100
-- click on ok
- Nothing has changed

Hey guys,

sorry, can't test it at the moment and also have no time in the next week to work on this further. But the color framework used for FEM is the generic FreeCAD one which is also used in mesh workbench for example. So you could try if the Mesh workbench curvature plots have the same faulty behaviour or if it is only visible in FEM code. Than the bug report in the tracker should go towards the framework or FEM implementation.

[bernd]

Thanks ickby, for the informations! Next Try.

- Start FreeCAD
- Change to Start WB --> load PartDesign example
- Change to Mesh WB
- Select object Pocket002 in TreeView --> Meshes --> "Create Mesh from shape" --> in Tasks Widget --> ok
- Make Pocket002 Visibility to False
- Change Pocket002 (Meshed) Display Mode to Flat Lines
- Select Pocket002 (Meshed) --> Meshes --> Cuvature Plot --> double click on the color bar --> change values
- Works for me !!!

I can confirm this part of the problem. It seems that the check for min/max doesn't like the group separators in numbers. When removing it then it works.

- changing Maximum and Minimum is not working at all
- changing Decimals is not working at all

If you mean that the color gradient in the 3d view doesn't update when changing min/max then it must be related to the view provider in fem.

git commit a363d6f fixes the group separator issue.
