[Paraview] Accessing window pixel data from python

[Richard Townsend]

Hi folks —

Newbie here. I’m wondering whether it’s possible to access the pixel buffer of a render window from within Python. I’m using Python to generate a set of plots which contain paraview-rendered images. Rather than writing the images to disk using WriteImage, and then reading them back in to create the plots using matplotlib, I’d like to access the render window pixel buffer directly. Is this possible?

Regards,

Rich
