Sebastien: Good question:
My goal is to have a script which smooths results between simulation steps (fortran codes). I use paraview to view results, and the smoothing filter in paraview seems to do what I want. I want to start with a Trace-generated python script, and edit it to write the vertices and element info to a file (.ply would be nice) that the next code can read. So, fortunately for me (in some sense), I decided to upgrade my ubuntu OS to 12.10. This has paraview 3.14.1-6build1 on its software list (aptitude). This version corrected a bug (with pvpython) in the version of paraview 3.14 that I was using. (I also spent a day trying to get/install other versions. That was not very successful.) Now if I import the trace generated py file, it pops up (and stays). Not a very good image, but it is a start! Being new to python and paraview, this is quite a step. Any suggestions as to how to write vertex/node info would be appreciated.
