If you're using the python trace (under Tools->Start Trace/Stop Trace) you can create a python script that should mimic what you're doing in the GUI. After you stop the trace you have the option of saving it as a macro which will then allow you to click on a widget in the GUI to replay those actions. <br>
<br>You could also create a state file (File->Save State) which may also accomplish what you're looking for. <br><br>If either of those don't work as expected and/or desired, I would recommend emailing back the list with specific problems.<br>

Hi everyone,<br><br>We have simulation results that we frequently visualize in the same way. We construct a specific pipeline, visualize some parts as wireframe, set a color scheme, and so on. Unfortunately, this is done manually at the moment, which means that just opening simulation results can take a few minutes of clicking around. I'm looking to script this.<br>
<br>Is there a way to script the UI so that it opens a number of given files, and adjusts features automatically? My investigations into Python scripting with Paraview suggest that it cannot directly control the UI, instead it does analysis using Paraview.<br>
<br>Any suggestions on how to accomplish some automation?<br><br>AJ<br>
