<div dir="ltr">Hi Aron<div><br></div><div>I tried your method and created the trace. When I go to the python shell and run that python macro, it says that the custom filter I had created does not exist. My custom filter consists of 2 calculator filters, each calculating different things. To create that custom filter, I selected both the calculators on the pipeline browser, right click-> create custom filter->finish.</div><div><br></div><div>To create my python macro, I first load up my .vtu files in the pipeline browser, hit apply, then I start trace. I add my custom filter, follow Kenneth's procedure to obtain the plot over time, then I hit Stop trace. Then in the script generated, file->save as macro.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Jan 12, 2018 at 9:31 AM, Aron Helser <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:aron.helser@kitware.com" target="_blank">aron.helser@kitware.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hi Jairaj,<div>This is exactly what the 'trace' and python macro functions are for. Take a look in the Tools menu, and choose Start Trace. If you check the 'show incremental trace' button you can see it's recording a python script as you take actions in the GUI. When you've completed your steps, you can choose 'save as python macro' and you'll get a button that can repeat the steps.</div><div><br></div><div>To go more in-depth, look for information on python scripting in Paraview!</div><div>Regards,</div><div>Aron</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div class="h5">On Thu, Jan 11, 2018 at 7:47 PM, Jairaj Mathur <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:hero.jairaj@gmail.com" target="_blank">hero.jairaj@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br></div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div><div class="h5"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="auto">Hi Ken<div dir="auto"><br></div><div dir="auto">This is EXACTLY what I wanted!
