[Paraview] Probe location in a script

[mctolille at netcourrier.com]

Thanks for the tip. I actually already used tracing in order to find the command:
    Probelocation.ProbeType.Center = [10.0,20.0,30.0] 

But the problem is that I don't know how to access to the data (rho, vx, vy...) at that location in the python script

And since tracing does not capture "Save data", I don't even know how to write the data in a file

Cheers,
Mc Fly

Hi McFly,


The Python Tracing facility in ParaView is perfect for this kind of task. It records a trace of your actions in the ParaView GUI to a Python script that you can modify a bit to process a bunch of files. To turn on tracing, choose the Tools -> Start Trace menu item.



More info on tracing is available in the ParaView User Guide [1] under section 1.6.2.



Best regards,

Cory

Hi everybody,

I am a new Paraview user. I am trying to extract points from a bunch of vtu files. It is pretty easily done with "probe location". But since I have a lot of files, I would like to automatize the process (with a macro or a python script). 

Could someone maybe show me how it's done?

My best guess is that I should have the following in a python script:
Probelocation.ProbeType.Center = [10.0,20.0,30.0] 
assuming I want to probe at x=10, y=20, z=30. But then, I don't really know how to retrieve the variables values at that location.

Thanks a lot,
Mc Fly
