Hi Andy, Thanks for the prompt response. The generation of extra arrays arises after the call to the PlotSelectionOverTime filter, so filtering before that call will not have the desired reduction. For whatever reason, there is a difference between the output of the PlotSelectionOverTime filter using the GUI vs. calling it in the python script using the SelectCells filter (below). When you run it through the GUI, I get the original variables as a function of time (as expected). When I run through the python script, I get the avg, std, q1, q2, q3, q4, .... (bunch of other statistics) for every variable. This is what I'm trying to eliminate - clearly there is a difference between what GUI selection approach and using SelectCells in the python script.
Is there detailed documentation on valid arguments for SelectCells? For instance, I haven't a clue exactly what query="id==0" means. Are there other arguments to shut of statistics? I can only find very tutorial type of information on the wiki and in the KitWare published texts (VTk and paraview). I poked around on the doxygen site and didn't find too much information there either. Is the source code viewable for the SelectCells filter so I can see what exactly it is doing? It looks like the programmable filter provides a mechanism to run python code. Wouldn't this be the same thing as running python code via pvbatch? I don't see how using the programmable filter would provide an alternative solution approach. I must be missing something....
