[Paraview] Opacity transfer function in pvpython

[kenichiro yoshimi]

Hi Ross,

Specifying representation.ScalarOpacityFunction via the same piecewise
function may be also needed:
representation.ScalarOpacityFunction =
CreatePiecewiseFunction(Points=[0.0, 0.0, 0.5, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.5,
0.0])

Thanks,
yoshimi

However, while the color transfer function works, the opacity transfer function seems to have no effect on rendering whatsoever. After loading the state in ParaView, I can set the entire opacity transfer function to zero and the renderered volume remains completely opaque.
