[Paraview] animation with changing visibility

[Moreland, Kenneth]

0 turns visibility off.  1 turns visibility on.

Ken,

Thanks for the quick feedback.  I have tried this, with no luck yet. Using this approach, how do you toggle visibility??  Does a value of 0 turn visibility off?  If so, what value turns it back on??

Thanks again.

Re: [Paraview] animation with changing visibility Animating the visibility is the right thing to do.  If you have not already, try changing the interpolation from ramp to step.  That might be the problem.

To All,

I have searched around a bit for some documentation on this (including
this mailing list), so my apologizes if it has been discussed before.

I am trying to create a simple animation using Paraview 3.4.0.  The
animation desired is: a 3D cube rotates for 5 seconds, becomes invisible
and is replaced with a new object (a slice from the center of the 3D
cube).

It seemed fairly straight forward but I have been running into some
problems.  I have no problem with the rotation (using the Transform
filter) for 5 seconds.  I am running into trouble with changing the
visibility.  Specifically, making the 3D sphere turn invisible and
making the slice become visible at the appropriate time.  I have tried
animating the visibility of an object but am not sure how to do this
properly or what values to set.  I tried working with the assumption
that a visibility value of 0 meant invisible, but that didn't seem to be
working.

Thanks for any help!
