[Paraview-developers] Building a module pipeline offline

[David E DeMarle]

python scripting (macro functionality) is the way to go.

Simplest way to get started is:
open gui
tools->Start Trace
do something in the gui
tools->Stop Trace
save that to filename.py
then from command prompt: "pvbatch filename.py"

See the documentation and tutorials for much more information.
