[Paraview] ParaView and Python: Position of a slice and pressing the "Rescale to Data Range"-Button

[Stefan Kroboth]

Hi!

I'm new to ParaView and Python but I need to automate a workflow as part of my bachelor thesis. I already found out a lot of the things I need by myself. But, there are some things I couldn't find out. 
Is there an option to automatically render a slice when it is moved? I basically don't want to press the Apply-button whenever the slice is moved. If this isn't possible, how do i "press" the Apply-button with python? I could read the Origin-values from the Properties field of the Object Inspector and set the Origin-values from the Display field to this values. But how do I get this Origin-values (I only found the ones from the Display field in python).
I also need to press the "Rescale to Data Range" button when the slice is moved. Is this even possible? If so, how? 

Please excuse my bad english - feel free to correct it if you want ;). I hope the explanation of my problem isn't confusing. I was looking for a documentation of the ParaView/Python interface but I couldn't find any. Am I blind or is there no documentation?

Thanks,
   Stefan
