Thanks for the help people gave me for the question below. I now have a workable solution for much of the batch imaging I need to do. <br><br>I'd now like to add some surface rendering, that is, setting <br>>>> DataRepresentation.Representation = 'Surface'<br>
>>> DataRepresentation.ColorArrayName = 'solution'<br><br>Previously, I had used the slice object to get the range of values and the bounds:<br><br>>>> s = Slice(SliceType="Plane")<br>>>> m,M = s.CellData[0].GetRange()<br>
>>> xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax,zmin,zmax = s.GetDataInformation().DataInformation.GetBounds()<br><br>However, I no longer have the slice object. I have the DataRepresentation object, and the RenderView, and the output of the ExodusIIReader() call. I've also defined a number of elementblocks that I can set via:<br>
<br>>>> reader.ElementBlocks = ['a','b']<br><br>Can I use any of the available objects to get the data and the boundary ranges?<br><br>Thanks in advance...<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Sep 1, 2011 at 3:46 PM, Rick Muller <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rpmuller@gmail.com">rpmuller@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">I'm using the Python scripting facility in Paraview to do some batch visualization of some semiconductor models I'm simulating. The Start/Stop Trace feature is great, and I've already put together something quite usable. However, I can't figure out how to reset the camera between different simulations.<br>
<br>The code coming out of the Trace feature looked something like:<br> rv = pv.GetRenderView()<br> rv.CameraFocalPoint = [0.223, -0.0160,-0.334]<br> rv.CameraParallelScale = 1.684<br> rv.CenterOfRotation = [0.223, -0.0160,-0.334]<br>
rv.CameraPosition = [0.223, -0.0160, 4.105]<br> rv.CameraClippingRange = [5.308, 8.033]<br>i.e. they already got the center of the object from some query to the objects already in the database. What would I have to do to get this information myself? I'm having a hard time finding info. I've tried reading the doctext for the Outline and OutlineCorners features, and I've seen a couple refs to a GetBounds command while googling around, but I can't find anything that really helps.<br>
<br>My pipeline looks something like:<br>* Use the ExodusIIReader to create a reader object<br>* Use the aforementioned render view object to control the camera<br>* Create a slice object in the z-direction at a certain height<br>
* Create a data representation and a colormap<br>* Render the object.<br>I can't tell which of the objects I would use for an Outline() or a GetBounds() call. For example, I get the min/max values for the data in the slice via <br>
min,max = slice.PointData[0].GetRange()<br>but using s or s.PointData with Outline() or GetBounds() doesn't get me anywhere. Can anyone nudge me in the right direction?<br><br>Thanks,<br>Rick<br clear="all"><font color="#888888"><br>
