Hi,
There are some changes you need to make to get it to work.
from paraview.simple import * //use this to import the updated
ParaView-Python API
dataset = servermanager.sources.LegacyVTKreader(FileNames="myData.vtk")
dataset.UpdatePipeline()
clipper = servermanager.filters.Clip(Input=dataset)
//you can use clipper.GetProperty('ClipType').Available to see the available
options. You should get a list like this:
//['Plane', 'Box, 'Sphere', 'Scalar']
//set the clip type to plane
clipper.ClipType = Plane
//to set the properties of the plane
clipper.ClipType.Origin = [10.0,0.0,5.0]
clipper.ClipType.Normal = [1,0,0]
clipper.UpdatePipeline()
-------------
There are more options available.. use dir(servermanager.filters.Clip) and
dir(servermanager.filters.Clip.ClipType). Plus, I believe the latest release
has a trace functionality where-by you can have written to Python script any
action you perform interactively, which can help get you find these things
out.
Hope this helps.

Subject: [Paraview] ClipFunction Property
Greetings,
I am trying to script ParaView's 3.6.1 clip class.
My script is something like:
connection = servermanager.Connect()
from paraview.simple import *
from paraview import servermanager
dataset = LegacyVTKReader(FileNames="myData.vtk")
plane = servermanager.implicit_functions.Plane()
plane.Normal = [1,0,0]
plane.Origin = [10.0,0.0,5.0]
clipper = servermanager.filters.Clip(Input=inputFile)
clipper.ClipFunction = plane
Which causes the error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<stdin>", line 1, in ?
File "/Users/kitware/ParaViewReleases/ParaView-3.6/ParaView3Bin/
Utilities/VTKPythonWrapping/paraview/servermanager.py", line 197, in
__setattr__
AttributeError: Attribute ClipFunction does not exist. This class does not
allow addition of new attributes to avoid mistakes due to typos. Use
add_attribute() if you really want to add this attribute.
All of the documentation I can find on servermanager.filters.Clip shows use
of the ClipFunction property. I guess with 3.6.1 it no longer exists?
How do I set the plane without it? I don't see any plane property for
servermanager.filters.Clip.
Can anyone point me to documentation for how to set the plane for the
filter?
Thank you,
