data to form an animation)<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=242190121-30122004>Hi, I am
relatively new to paraview. I have a series of data files (in vtk
format). I can load them individually to view as 3D surface. Now I
want to create an animation using each file as individual frame. I am
wondering if I can realize that with a script. Could anyone provide me
with an example? Also, from my experience, it seems the paraview will
automatically adjust camera position (and zoom) when new data is loaded (I
assume it automatically set the view centered on the object). Can I fix
the camera position and orientation when new data is loaded?
