Hello, http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting has the example on how to list the variables in a dataset.
============= >>> reader = ExodusIIReader(FileName='.../can.ex2') # These variables are currently selected >>> reader.PointVariables ['DISPL', 'VEL', 'ACCL'] # These are available in the file >>> reader.PointVariables.Available ['DISPL', 'VEL', 'ACCL'] # Enable the DISPL array only >>> reader.PointVariables = ['DISPL'] # Force read >>> reader.UpdatePipeline() # Now check the output. Note: GlobalNodeId is generated automatically by the reader. >>> reader.PointData[:] [Array: GlobalNodeId, Array: PedigreeNodeId, Array: DISPL] ==================== If I am doing this in ParaView GUI and I load the can.ex2 data manually and then use Tools->Python Shell to get to python, how do I get a list of the variable? Who would be the parent of PointVariables.Available? <????>.PointVariables.Available ? thanks -simon
