TryQuery

This example program shows how to use some of VisIt’s query capabilities to perform picks and lineouts.

Running the program

From a released client to an installed VisIt of the same version:

java -cp . TryQuery -stay -path /path/to/visit/bin -datapath /path/to/silodata

From a development build/java directory:

java -cp .:visit.jar TryQuery -stay -dv -datapath /path/to/silodata
