D3 (D3)
Repartition a data set into load-balanced spatially convex regions. Create ghost cells if requested.
The D3 filter is available when ParaView is run in parallel. It operates on any type of data set to evenly divide it across the processors into spatially contiguous regions. The output of this filter is of type unstructured grid.

PropertyDescriptionDefault Value(s)Restrictions
Boundary Mode
(BoundaryMode)
This property determines how cells that lie on processor boundaries are handled. The "Assign cells uniquely" option assigns each boundary cell to exactly one process, which is useful for isosurfacing. Selecting "Duplicate cells" causes the cells on the boundaries to be copied to each process that shares that boundary. The "Divide cells" option breaks cells across process boundary lines so that pieces of the cell lie in different processes. This option is useful for volume rendering. 0

The value must be one of the following: Assign cells uniquely (0), Duplicate cells (1), Divide cells (2).

 
Input
(Input)
This property specifies the input to the D3 filter.  

The selected object must be the result of the following: sources (includes readers), filters.

The selected dataset must be one of the following types (or a subclass of one of them): vtkDataSet.

 
Minimal Memory
(UseMinimalMemory)
If this property is set to 1, the D3 filter requires communication routines to use minimal memory than without this restriction. 0

Only the values 0 and 1 are accepted.
