[Paraview] Silce Feature Question

[Moreland, Kenneth]

Although the slice filter can automatically create any number of parallel slices at once, it cannot produce rotational slices automatically.

However, I believe you can achieve your goals by using Python scripting to automate the creation of any number of slices. There is a brief introduction to scripting in the ParaView tutorial (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial) and scripting is covered extensively throughout the ParaView User's Guide (http://www.paraview.org/paraview-guide/), both of which are freely available. Once you have figured out how to properly create and manipulate the slice planes in the Python script, it is trivial to add a for loop to create as many planes as you like.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Silce Feature Question

Hello ParaView Community,

I'm an undergraduate student that is currently doing research in the Biofluids Lab in the Mechanical Engineering Department at the George Washington University. I've been playing around with ParaView to help my professor render data.

Is there a way to use the slice feature to produce multiple repeatable slices? And each slice must be about a point of origin so all slices go in 180 degrees. I've included a picture of what I'm interested in this email. In the picture there are only 18 slice and I performed all of them separately. If I wanted to create more than 18, lets say 180 slices, how would I do it the easiest and fastest way possible?

In addition to create a lot of slices, I also need to get data from each slice. I've been doing that with the Plot Over Line Filter. Is there a way to apply this filter onto each slice and then export the numbers onto Excel.

Thank you,

Michael Tzeng
