[Paraview] resume python script from last position

[Biddiscombe, John A.]

Jean,

Thanks. Does the time.asctime() write the wall/clock time?
I am/was looking for a snippet which would (say) look at my directory, see that pic_0000, pic_0001, pic_0002 (for example) exist and then tell me that I need to resume from timestamp 0003 ... or alternatively, just write out some index to a temp file and then read it back and use that to resume from. My main script isn't working yet to generate the images I want, so I've not tried to implement the read back resume position. I'm expecting to generate 5000 frames and it may take quite a long time.

JB

you may use for example time, and replacing space with underscore.

import time
view.WriteImage(format("pic_" + time.asctime().replace(" ", "_") + ".png"), "vtkPNGWriter", 1)
