[Paraview] Customize filter toolbar

[Zenker, Dr. Matthias]

Hi David,

thank you for the hints. Unfortunately it doesn't work for me that way. The macro I get is

---------------------------------
try: paraview.simple
except: from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

my_file_pvd = GetActiveSource()
PlotSelectionOverTime8 = PlotSelectionOverTime()

Render()
----------------------------

I must admit that I don't know Python at all. It's not the same language as in "Life of Brian"...  ;-))
I have had a look in the ParaView Manual which did not enlighten me for this specific problem.
When I execute the macro above, ParaView creates a Plot SelectionOverTime object, but when I hit "Apply", nothing happens. Also it seems to me that the Macro expects a specific name for the dataset. How can I generalize it, once it works?

Thanks for some more hints...

Matthias

You can record a trace in which you just apply that filter, and then save the trace as a macro.  It won't be in the common filters toolbar, but it will be in the macros toolbar which is by default right next to it.

If you are building from source you can add the filter to the Common group in Applications/ParaView/ParaViewFilters.xml.

You could also write a plugin that does it.
