[Paraview] Getting Python object reference to representation/proxy of each object loaded in Paraview.

[Deij, Menno]

Ah, OK. I thought that my code below rotates the object. Closer inspection shows that it indeed does not, to my surprise I have to say.

In that case you want to use a Transform filter. Add it after your source and then open the Animation view. In your animation view add the transform rotation, for instance Rotate(0). Animate it from the first to the last value in the desired amount of steps & save the animation.

See the attached example PVSM file (Paraview version 3.10.1), just load & press play.

Thanks Menno. However I'm trying to rotate the objects in the scene and
not the camera. I've got two objects side by side and I'd like to rotate
both of them while keeping the camera still.

Thanks.
