[Paraview] mouse interaction when scripting python

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Also, it should be noted that if you issue these commands from the Python Shell in the ParaView GUI, the visualization gets built in the ParaView GUI and you can then use the mouse to interact with its views as usual.

Hi Lars,

Currently it is not possible with paraview-python.  But you can make it work using vtk-python (which looks very similar to your c++ example.)  See  this email:

Dear all,
I started with a simple python scripting example as described in this paragraph:
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting#Rendering

Unfortunately I don't see any possibility to interact with the render window
using the mouse (to rotate the camera, zoom, pan, ...) as I did before in C++:

...
// an interactor
vtkRenderWindowInteractor *iren = vtkRenderWindowInteractor::New();
iren->SetRenderWindow(renWin);
// add actors
ren1->AddActor(...);
// render an image
renWin->Render();
// begin mouse interaction
iren->Start();

Is it possible to use mouse interaction in combination with python scripting?

Thanks
Lars
