[Paraview] Custom animation help? (Corrected image)

[Jesse Samluk]

Cory,

Right, but isn’t that going to “throw away” the animation “tracks" I just created?

For instance, I have created an animation with a vtk data set I’m working with. Cool.

But say I close Paraview, I lose the animation tracks I just created. Right.

So how can I save those animation tracks? Is this even possible in Paraview?

Thanks!
Jesse

Move the horizontal slice and Y-Z vertical slice (the slice without the tubes) up and down, and side to side, respectively, such that as if you selected the particular slide in the Pipeline browser, you could drag the slice in question and move it manually to see the different responses. Therefore I’m trying to automate it.
