Hello everyone,
I have exported the paraview trace into the attached script that
generates a cylinder source without caps, triangulates and saves an STL
file.
I have noticed that the cylinder resolution can be prescribed to any
number in the python script:
~~~
# create a new 'Cylinder'
cylinder1 = Cylinder()
# Properties modified on cylinder1
cylinder1.Resolution = 100000
~~~
And this number is reported by the print command as well
~~~
print(cylinder1.Resolution)
~~~
However, the actual resolution of the cylinder source never exceeds the
number 512. This I have figured out after manually inspecting the number
of triangles in the 'cylinder.stl' file generated by the attached script.
I have browsed the VTK code as well, but I could not find the point
where the maximal cylinder source resolution is restricted to 512.
My question is: can I somehow (in python, or in VTK) override the
resolution that is actually then applied to the cylinder? I am using
paraview version 4.4.0. Does it work in a newer paraview version?
Kind Regards,
Tomislav
