Maybe try upgrading to the latest/greatest ParaView on the web site? It is 3.98.1. What is your platform? If you don't see Python Shell under the Tools tab, your issue has changed from "how to create and run this script" to "Why don't I have Python".

Am I using a wrong paraview? My is ParaView 3.14.1 64 bit. Ubuntu Thanks, and Yes, that is basically what I need. Ultimately, I would hope I can save images for my velocity field or pressure field without opening paraview window, I hope I can just modify the script to do it.

Create a Python script of what you want to do. Easiest way is to open ParaView, Tools/ Start Trace, do your work, Tools/ Stop Trace. Save the file somewhere. To test it, start ParaView from scratch (or just delete everything in the pipeline browser), Tools/ Python Shell/ Run Script/ select the python script you choose earlier. Then, close ParaView, and run your script with pvbatch your-script.py Is that what you are asking?

I want to save images automatically. What I am doing is pretty simple, use paraview to view an flow field and then pan it and zoom into a certain region and then save the screenshot. That's it. I dont want to repeat this operation all the time. I want to do it for all my cases in the back-end and in batch mode without opening paraview window. Is it possible? How? What kind of scripts should I write? Many thanks in advance! Daniel WEI ---------------------- University of Notre Dame
