[Paraview] How to extract a list of the plotting variable names with Python

[Neal,Christopher R]

Hi,


I'm trying to extract a list of the names of the available plotting variables from a data set that I have loaded. The variable names are all related to cell data in the data set. Something like ['Density','Pressure','Temperature','Velocity'] is what I am trying to extract from the Ensight Reader data object using Python.


I have a feeling that this is something that can be extracted from the vtkPVDataInformation Class, but I'm unsure about which method to use.



Thank you,
