[Paraview] plotting integrated values of cutting plane at various offsets

Thu Sep 30 12:11:52 EDT 2010

That's great.

This is very rough, but I was thinking of something like this after setting the programmable filter Output Data Set Type to vtkTable (to test I've created a Wavelet Source and run it through a Gradient filter, and then a Calculator which creates a new value called RTGradMag, which is the magnitude of the gradient vector, then the data is Contoured by RTData value with Compute Scalars checked ON):

rt = inputs[0].PointData['RTData']
rtg = inputs[0].PointData['RTGradMag']
rt_set = sorted(set(rt.reshape((-1,)).tolist()))

sums = vtk.vtkDoubleArray()
sums.SetName('SummedValues')
sums.SetNumberOfComponents(1)
conts = vtk.vtkDoubleArray()
conts.SetName('ContourValues')
conts.SetNumberOfComponents(1)

for val in rt_set:
	summed_val = sum(rtg[rt==val].reshape((-1,)).tolist())
	conts.InsertNextValue(val)
	sums.InsertNextValue(summed_val)
	print val, summed_val

pdo = self.GetTableOutput()
pdo.AddColumn(conts)
pdo.AddColumn(sums)

It sounds like you're trying to take your contours and integrate some attributes over each of the contours separately so you get a table which contains as many rows as the number of contours (and maybe separate columns for each attribute)?

In filters.xml it show as being called vtkIntegrateAttributes but I cannot create this in python.  Also, there is no webpage for this class on the nightly documentation site.

This would build up a list (in a polydata or vtkTable for example) which could then be plotted on a graph. A reset button on a custom panel can be used to clear the values. I’ve done this a couple of times for time related filters when I wanted to plot something unusual over T.
