[Paraview] Setting up animation with Paraview

[Alessandro Comunian]

Hi Jesse,

I'm not 100% this could be the answer to your question, but if you want to
produce an animation of different 2D slices through your model, then
hereinafter there is a python script that I use to do that:

--------------------------------------------------------

def start_cue(self):

global z_curr

z_curr = 0


def tick(self):

global z_curr

# Select the source named "data"

MyActiveSrc = FindSource("data")


 data_repr = GetDisplayProperties(MyActiveSrc)


 data_repr.Slice = z_curr

z_label = FindSource("z_label")

z_label.Text = 'z=%04d'%(z_curr)

z_curr = z_curr + 1


def end_cue(self): pass

--------------------------------------------------------


In my pipeline I have a 3D dataset with the slice representation (named
"data") and text source for reporting the z-slice level (named "z_label").

You can add the python script from the "Animation View" (from there, you
could also add camera movements...).


Hope it helps,


Cheers,


Alessandro
