ParaView-UserSettings.json - Point Size

ParaView Support
1

My user is trying to set up a custom point size that persists between sessions. I believe the way to do this is with an entry in ParaView-UserSettings.json, in the users .config/ParaView directory. I cannot find how to do this. So,

  • How do you change persistently the point size in the Properties tab? I don’t want to then save all of the other settings. Just point size.
  • The documentation in the ParaView Reference 12.2.3 points to directories that do not exist. Please update this document. I will add a git issue for this bullet.

{
  "representations" : 
  {
    "GeometryRepresentation" : 
    {   
      "PointSize" : 7.0 
    },  
    "UniformGridRepresentation" : 
    {   
      "PointSize" : 7.0 
    },  
    "UnstructuredGridRepresentation" : 
    {   
      "PointSize" : 7.0 
    }   
  }
}

That should do it for most cases, please note that this is a “per-representation” setting, so any other representation need to be added to the list.

Adding a global setting to control de default point size/line width could make sense I think.
