[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Auto save images

[Scott, W Alan]

Daniel,

Yes, there is.  Create a Python script of what you want to do.  Easiest way is to open ParaView, Tools/ Start Trace, do your work, Tools/ Stop Trace.  Save the file somewhere.  To test it, start ParaView from scratch (or just delete everything in the pipeline browser), Tools/ Python Shell/ Run Script/ select the python script you choose earlier.

Then, close ParaView, and run your script with pvbatch your-script.py

Is that what you are asking?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Auto save images

Hi all

Is there a way to run paraview in batch mode. I want to save images automatically.

What I am doing is pretty simple, use paraview to view an flow field and then pan it and zoom into a certain region and then save the screenshot. That's it. I dont want to repeat this operation all the time. I want to do it for all my cases in the back-end and in batch mode without opening paraview window.

Is it possible? How? What kind of scripts should I write?

Many thanks in advance!
