Kitware has just released a minor point release of ParaView with two very important additions: a new Python trace, and new statistical algorithms.
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 in the October 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.
The statistical features alone are a huge feature, worthy of a major release. You can read more details in the ParaView Wiki, but this has been one feature seriously lacking from ParaView for some time. Great to see it continuing to grow and remain competitive!
