Web version

[nvohra0016]

I am unable to use the web version of glvis to load my solution (.gf). Is there a particular way to do that? When I click on the "Load local file" button and select the file, nothing happens.

Thank you!

Hi @nvohra0016,

The online version does not support separate mesh and grid functions yet, instead it reads GLVis streams, see https://glvis.org/options-and-use/#server-mode, which usually have the extension .saved.

If you have a mesh my.mesh and grid function my.gf it is easy to create a stream by concatenating them and adding solution on the first line as follows:

echo "solution" > my.saved
cat my.mesh >> my.saved
cat my.gf >> my.saved

See for example https://github.com/GLVis/data/blob/master/streams/quad.saved.

Alternatively you can just save the stream from the desktop GLVis application, if you run it in server mode with glvis -mac.

The streams are preferable, not only because they combine the mesh and grid function, but also because you can add other GLVis commands at the end, e.g. keys, valuerange, etc. see https://github.com/GLVis/data/blob/master/streams/snake.saved

Hope this helps,
Tzanio

There is a typo above: cat my.gf should be cat my.gf >> my.saved
