[Paraview] How to save geometry from python?

[Burlen Loring]

Hi Rich,

I think that the save geometry option saves the last data that's passed 
into the rendering portion of the pipeline, it's typically a surface but 
depends on which representation you're using. Most of the time you can 
mimic the functionality  by applying the extract surface filter and 
writing the result. For example:

ws = Wavelet()
es = ExtractSurface()
sw = CreateWriter('wavesurf.vtp')
sw.UpdatePipeline()

Does that work for your situation?
