Dennis, The Python/ Programmable filter is a black box to me (i.e., I won't be much additional help). However, the place i would start would be the new, super-duper ParaView Guide. Kitware - and especially Utkarsh - have done a great job on it.
Rather than giving the link, here is how to find it. It is sold in paper form on Amazon, and also is available as a .pdf for free (lacking 3 chapters, not related to the python filter). paraview.org/ Resources/ ParaView Guide. This includes the link to the .pdf. You are interested in (at least) chapter 13. It is listed under master section II, Reference Manual. Alan From: ParaView [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Dennis Conklin Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 11:11 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [EXTERNAL] [Paraview] Idiot's Guide to Programmable Filter All, I'm a little confused by what objects are inside a programmable filter. I have a multi-block EXODUS dataset. When I read this in it is a Exodus2Reader object (sp?) and I can access the blocks, pointdata, celldata, etc in a python script. Once I get inside the Programmable filter, the blocks of the input[] seem to have different member functions than they did in a Python script. So I can't figure out how to get connectivity, number of cells in a block, generate new cell variables, etc. So, if I'm in a Programmable Filter, what object do I look at in either the Paraview or VTK class libraries to understand what the properties of the block are? Thanks very much for any insight you can give. Dennis
