However, I have one difficulty, if I have exited paraview or resized the<br>
windows (or .#%#@.. it crashed ) the size & aspect ratio of the
window<br>
displaying my 3D view may change. This results in my screenshots have<br>
differing resolutions i.e. my first series had 1198x712 but my next was<br>
1106x780. I know you can specify this resolution in the save screenshot<br>
dialog - however this is after the fact and some elements seem to differ<br>
based on the real size (i.e. legends)<br>
<br>
I can't seem to find an option to specify the size of this window, but I<br>
assume I may be able to via python ? can anyone help with this ?<br>
<br>
Also would love to know how to move the location of the orientation
axes ?<br>
<br>

Is it view.ViewSize you are looking for?<br>

That is in my "outside paraview" area, which means I've only tried it
from a terminal, running the script with<br>
pvpython ./script.py<br>

Actually this page was part of my inspiration in writing my original
script (thanks BTW if you are responsible for this page). I guess I was
after the ability to change my GUI window to match what would be
produced at the 'save screenshot' stage. In part because we are not
overly automating each image and in general might be making tweaks to
each image of a set. We also wanted to avoid going to another program
(i.e. gimp) to clip/resize our image. <br>
As we are not graphical experts (scientists/engineers) we are learning
some of this on the fly. <br>
Our approach in the past has been to compose our image (w.r.t. to axes
indicators, legends, etc) based on what we can see. In this respect we
are used to setting our window size (perhaps scaled to fit display
constraints) and placing our objects on this canvas. <br>
<br>
Additionally, if the resolution we specify at 'save screenshot' stage
is different to what we can see in the GUI some elements do change.
I've attached two images to illustrate.<br>
One is when we simply saved with no change to the resolution (760x620)
the other when we changed the width to 1000 (in the save GUI) and saved
(because this may match a previous image resolution to which we will
compare with). What happens is that some image elements are dependent,
such as the legend in this case. (& axes indicators also - but this
seems to only apply to height scaling from what I've seen - bug ?)
Actually - I've attached 3 images - all produced from same GUI window,
but with different export resolutions.<br>
<br>
It was for this reason we wanted to be able to specify the GUI window
size. I've tried it, but with limited luck as I don't know how to (or
which) object controls the GUI.<br>
I've tried setting these:<br>
view.ViewSize=[900,700]<br>
view.RenderWindowSizeInfo=[900,700]<br>
view.RenderWindowSize=[900,700]<br>
view.GUISize=[900,700]<br>
<br>
Separate queries:<br>
1) what is the significance of the "Info" variants? 4 or 5 properties
seem to have a duplicate with only "Info" tacked onto the end of the
name.<br>
2) Anyone know how to move/specify the location of the axes indicators ?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
