Hey David,
1.) When you create a new source, to get it to render you also need to
create a "Representation" for it in the "View". If you're running from
the python shell inside the paraview gui, you need to do something
like this:
sphere = servermanager.sources.Sphere()
pm = servermanager.ProxyManager()
pm.RegisterProxy('sources','mysource',sphere)
view = servermanager.GetRenderView()
sphereRep = servermanager.CreateRepresentation(sphere,view)
pm.RegisterProxy('representations','mysourceRep',sphereRep)
After that last step the "eye" should show up (and the sphere should
show up in the main render view.
2.) I'm not sure why the arrows don't work any more for the command
history. In PV 3.4 it works for me, but not in CVS. It's very
irritating...
3.) It's the Representation Proxy that contains things like
visibility, not the source proxy itself. dir(sphereRep) will show you
the options.
sphereRep.Visibility = 0
To iterate through all the representations you can do something like
this:
for k, v in pm.GetProxiesInGroup('representations').iteritems():
v.Visibility = 0
Hope this helps,
-Eric

1) Adding a view after adding a source with python
I have the following script which adds a sphere to the pipeline
browser
#!/usr/bin/pvpython
#must be run from inside paraview!
from paraview import servermanager
sphere = servermanager.sources.Sphere()
pm=servermanager.ProxyManager()
pm.RegisterProxy("sources","mysource",sphere)
This adds "mysource" to the pipeline browser. According to the wiki,
it sounds like the default visibility should be off, but you should
just be able to click the "eye" next to it to actually display the
object. However, I am not seeing an eye at all, not even a disabled
one. (http://rpi.edu/~doriad/NoEye.jpg)
2) The command history (ie. pressing the up arrow to get to previous
commands) does not seem to work in the python shell inside paraview.
Can it be enabled?
3) I can access all of the open sources with this:
p=pm.GetProxiesInGroup("sources").items()
then get a single source with
a=p[0] #up to p[len(p)-1]
When I dir(a), there are no properties (such as visibility) listed.
How do you change that type of property? (the idea would be to
something such as iterate through all of the open items one at a
time and save screen shots).
Any help would be great!
Thanks,
David
