[Paraview] ParaView python scripting - capture from ParaView GUI

[Su, Simon M CTR USAF (US)]

Hi David,

thanks. What about saving it in to xdmf file format? Is it as simple as doing

writer=CreateWrite("filename.xmf", Cone1)?

or do I need a different writer class?

thanks
-simon

------------------ start python script ------------------

try: paraview.simple

except: from paraview.simple import *

paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()


Cone1 = Cone()


RenderView1 = GetRenderView()


DataRepresentation1 = Show()

DataRepresentation1.ScaleFactor = 0.1

DataRepresentation1.EdgeColor = [0.0, 0.0, 0.5000076295109483]


RenderView1.CameraPosition = [0.0, 0.0, 3.2036135254332487]

RenderView1.CameraClippingRange = [2.309882128879306, 4.336364527086367]

RenderView1.CameraParallelScale = 0.8291561935301535


Render()


So, what is the python script command I need to save the data and how do I turn the python script from the Start Trace output into python script that I can run with pvbatch? Anything I need to strip off the output?

You don't need to strip anything off the output.

To save results add:
WriteImage("filename.png")
To save the screenshot in png format

And/Or add:

writer= CreateWriter("filename.vtk", Cone1)
writer.UpdatePipeline()

to save the Cone1's data in vtk format
