[Paraview] dynamic variable names in pvython

[Pat Marion]

Hi Tim,

Variable names in trace are generated by this function defined in
smtrace.py:


def pyvariable_from_proxy_name(proxy_name):
  return servermanager._make_name_valid(proxy_name.replace(".", "_"))


That function will generate a suitable variable name from a proxy name.  A
proxy is registered with a name in a proxy group.  smtrace.py also defines
some functions to lookup the proxy name given a proxy and a proxy group.
For example:


>>> from paraview import smtrace
>>> s = Sphere()
>>> smtrace.get_source_proxy_registration_name(s)
'Sphere1'

>>> smtrace.pyvariable_from_proxy_name('Sphere1')
'Sphere1'

>>> help(smtrace.get_source_proxy_registration_name)
Help on function get_source_proxy_registration_name in module
paraview.smtrace:

get_source_proxy_registration_name(proxy)
Assuming the given proxy is registered in the group 'sources',
lookup the proxy's registration name with the servermanager


>>> help(smtrace.get_view_proxy_registration_name)
Help on function get_view_proxy_registration_name in module
paraview.smtrace:

get_view_proxy_registration_name(proxy)
Assuming the given proxy is registered in the group 'views',
lookup the proxy's registration name with the servermanager
