[Paraview] help with a simple script?

[Sebastien Jourdain]

Hi Celia,

I'm not sure to follow what you mean by "it freezes" and "new layout
window".

When you render something from Python, the window is not interactive, so
maybe that's what you call freeze. And you need to manually call Render()
to update its content.
Regarding the layout window, I don't really have a clue what that could be.

So I let you explain a bit more.

Thanks,

Seb
