[Paraview] Accessing global variables using the python interface

[David E DeMarle]

Does he want servermanager.Fetch()?

That will bring the output data produced by a particular filter back
to the client. From there you can use the py wrapped vtk API to work
with the data set and the arrays it contains directly.

Alternatively he can write a py programmable filter that can access
the data on the server side, but in parallel he'll have to be away of
the way the data is split across processors.

> Hello,  I am fairly new to using paraview and python and am trying to figure out how I can access a global variable from the python shell.  Essentially, what I am trying to do is access a force vs. time curve so that I can interpolate to find at what time a certain force would occur.  It seems like it should be pretty simple to pull the curve into a python table so that I could manipulate it, but I have come up empty.  Any instruction/resources you could point me to would be very helpful.
