[Fwd: Re: [Paraview] Is pvbatch available for PV3?]

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Currently, we cannot save a python script (similar to the batch script) 
from the current GUI state. However, one can save the state xml from the 
client and simply load the state back in the python code using 
vtkSMProxyManager::LoadState().

Also pvpython provides a module (paraview) which can be used to create 
displays (which are now called representations), views etc, so it is 
possible to write python scripts from scratch without too much effort.
