Hi Utkarsh,<br><br>thanks for your reply. I got 3.8.1 to work easily on my MacBook and tracing works well. I found on the web that you fixed the bug <a href="http://www.paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=8723" title="[closed] Turn on/off annotations from Python" target="_blank">0008723</a>, and I need to remove the center of rotation from my animations. I downloaded the latest 'nightly snapshot' using git, and copied the Python modules from there into the directory of my Mac binary, replacing the ones that come with the .dmg file. The removal or addition of the center of rotation still doesn't show in the trace though, and I haven't been able to find the new method in the python modules. Is it there, and how to find it? Thanks,<br>

you to dump Python scripts based on user-interface actions<br>
(<a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_GUI_Tools" target="_blank">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_GUI_Tools</a>). You might want to<br>
wait for 3.8.1 (or try the release candidates) for better animation<br>
support from Python.<br>
