Hi,

To elaborate on what Andy said, you can stick your entire VTK script in side the programmable source. Which you can use in batch mode as well. If you want to keep your VTK script as a reusable code, I recommend making it a module that you import from the programmable source.

So if the last thing my VTK script does is set up a vtkImageImport object should that work as a programmable source (I tried but ParaView didn't get any bounds or scalar field name even though I set them up)? If not, what else do I need to do? Thanks.

    Thanks. That's pretty neat, but what I'd really like is a
    standalone script I can run in batch mode (no interaction) to
    generate one png file per timestep for all the timesteps in the
    data set. Essentially I'd like a way to construct a pipeline
    between the vtk.vtkImageImport() object and the ParaView renderView1.

        Hi.

        As a proof of concept, I have a vtk script that reads some
        binary data, and produces a vti file. I then have a second
        script that I generated using ParaView's tracing facility
        while viewing the data. Now I'd like to combine them, so as
        to eliminate the intermediate file, i.e., go from binary data
        directly to rendering. To be specific, my vtk script ends
        like this:

        steinbmag = steinbmag.reshape(nx,ny,nz).T

        vtkImporter = vtk.vtkImageImport()
        vtkImporter.CopyImportVoidPointer(steinbmag, steinbmag.nbytes)

        vtkImporter.SetDataScalarTypeToFloat()
        vtkImporter.SetNumberOfScalarComponents(1)
        vtkImporter.SetDataExtent(0, nx-1, 0, ny-1, 0, nz-1)
        vtkImporter.SetWholeExtent(0, nx-1, 0, ny-1, 0, nz-1)
        vtkImporter.SetScalarArrayName('B field magnitude')

        writer=vtk.vtkXMLImageDataWriter()
        writer.SetFileName(out_fname)
        writer.SetInputConnection(vtkImporter.GetOutputPort())
        writer.Write()

        and the ParaView script starts like this:

        from paraview.simple import *

        paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

        filepfx = '/nobackup/jcbecker/steinBmag_0'
        infile = filepfx+'.vti'
        # create a new 'XML Image Data Reader'
        steinBmag_ = XMLImageDataReader(FileName=infile)
        steinBmag_.CellArrayStatus = []
        steinBmag_.PointArrayStatus = ['B field magnitude']

        # get animation scene
        animationScene1 = GetAnimationScene()

        # update animation scene based on data timesteps
        animationScene1.UpdateAnimationUsingDataTimeSteps()

        # get active view
        renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
        # uncomment following to set a specific view size
        renderView1.ViewSize = [1090, 761]

        I'm looking at the VTK examples and pvpython documentation,
        but any help is appreciated.

        Thanks.
