[Paraview] Paraviewweb

[Jane Hickmott]

Hi Seb,
Thank you for your help.  However, your code appears to only toggle 'SelectionPointLabelVisibility' on/off.  What I really need is the equivalent of 'select points on' button as on the GUI that will enable me to interactively select an area on the plot to display labels on.  I can do this easily interactively, but the python trace appears not to record all of the clicks.  There is something I'm missing...

Frustrated... :(

Jane.

Hi Jane,

keep the prarview mailing list in the loop so anyone could contribute and learn.

In your case that will be pretty simple.
If you use jQuery as JavaScript library that could look like that:

var sourceProxy = paraview.FindSource({name:"Fluid_f2.vtk"});
var representation = paraview.GetDisplayProperties({proxy: sourceProxy});
$('.my-button-class').click(function() {
  if($(this).toggleClass("showLabel").hasClass("showLabel")) {
    representation.setSelectionPointLabelVisibility(1);
  } else {
    representation.setSelectionPointLabelVisibility(0);
  }
});

Or you can create a python script on the server side that can be
called from the JavaScript.
For more details on that you can read the plugin documentation of
ParaViewWeb here.
