[Paraview] pvpython question

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Here's the way to do it (note: this will work only in CVS version. For 
older versions there's another more complex way of doing it):


import paraview.servermanager as sm
sm.Connect()
sphereSource = sm.sources.SphereSource()
sphereSource.UpdatePipeline()

vtksphereSource = sphereSource.GetClientSideObject()
        # <--- returns vtkSphereSource instance
        #  <libvtkGraphicsPython.vtkSphereSource vtkobject at 0xc23d20>

vtksphereSource.GetOutput()
       # <--- returns vtkPolyData
       # <libvtkFilteringPython.vtkPolyData vtkobject at 0xc272a0>
