ParaView 3.6.2 Now Available

Kitware, Sandia National Laboratories and Los Alamos National Laboratory are happy to announce the release of ParaView 3.6.2. This is a minor patch release which includes a few critical bug fixes and two exciting new features.

ParaView's Python interface was revamped, an exciting new extension to the interface is Python trace. The goal is to generate human readable, not overly verbose, Python scripts that mimic a user's actions in the GUI. The "Python Trace" article on page 6 of this quarter's Kitware Source, discusses this functionality in greater detail.

ParaView 3.6.2 also includes a collection of statistical algorithms to compute: descriptive statistics (mean, variance, min, max, skewness, kurtosis); compute contingency tables; perform k-means analysis; examine correlations between arrays; and perform principal component analysis on arrays.

For more information about these filters, please visit the ParaView Wiki and search for "Statistical Analysis".
