<div dir="ltr"><div>The programmable source was designed to work on the server-side data only. By the fact that you're using the built-in server (i.e. the ParaView GUI and pvserver run in the same process space) you have access to client-side information like representation type but that stuff is only available after you've fully executed the programmable source script. <br><br></div>You may want to look at using the Python trace functionality and then saving that as a macro. That should be a more consistent solution that also works with a remote pvserver.<br></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Feb 13, 2018 at 12:16 PM, Manochehr Bahavar <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:manoch@iris.washington.edu" target="_blank">manoch@iris.washington.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div style="word-wrap:break-word;line-break:after-white-space">Hello,<div><br></div><div>I have created a Python programmable source to populate and display a vtkPolyData.
