[Paraview] Setting up animation with Paraview

[Jesse Samluk]

Alessandro,

 

  Thanks for the heads up but I think I figured something out without
scripting (but I will hang on to your code to try out). Basically I started
playing out with interpolating different camera locations with the camera
and having it play out from there.

 

   I don't know too much about Python yet, but I appreciate the response
back.

 

  Thanks!
   Jesse

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

Greetings all,

 

   Attached is an image I created in Paraview, Z-X Axis shot (and I can
recreate them in Paraview as necessary, no problems there).

 

   So, I'm trying to figure out the Animation feature in Paraview. Is there
a way to set up a "fly-through" that looks from the top surface (Y-X plane,
I know this image would have to be rotated) going down through the Z axis to
the bottom?

 

   I really don't have a clue how to set up an animation, and I've played
around with it and checked the help, but nothing helps.

   

  Thanks!

   Jesse
