[Paraview] restoring visibility of representations of multiple, appended PVSMs

Grothausmann, Roman Dr. Thu, 22 Mar 2018 11:01:49 -0700

Added some very simple PVSMs and a Makefile for testing, as well as the results:
https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/tree/test4pvsm-multi01

Only the visibility of the last loaded PVSM is set in the resulting PVSM(pvsm-multi_test.pvsm). Swapping the order of the input PVSMs demonstrates this:

Any idea what could be wrong or missing in the PV-script?

Many thanks Cory for your feedback. Not adding empty (None) properties did nothelp(http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/d3af645dd1af2a).Anyway, "ForceUseCache" has a vector of value 0 so it seems to me the actualproblem still is that ListProperties() returns properties that are not part ofthe specific object that is calling ListProperties(). E.g. help(repr) does notlist a property called "ForceUseCache" but e.g. "Visibility"


So I decided to only restore the property "Visibility" for a start:
http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/d1c63f2682e834e

Even though there is no error on execution any more, the resulting PVSM has onlythe visibilities set for the last loaded PVSM, i.e. the setting of the"Visibility" of representations loaded from former PVSMs did not have any effect.Is there a need to call some kind of Update() to make the property setting haveany effect? I tried some rendering(http://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/294ff85a0cc7a), butthat did not help either.

Roman,

Looking at your original problem with the error:

File"/opt/paraview-5.3.0_GL1/lib/paraview-5.3/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py",line 375, in SetPropertyWithName

      prop.SetData(arg)

File"/opt/paraview-5.3.0_GL1/lib/paraview-5.3/site-packages/paraview/servermanager.py",line 1296, in SetData

      self.SMProperty.AddProxy(value_proxy)
TypeError: AddProxy argument 1: method requires a VTK object

You are hitting this when attempting to set the DataAxesGrid, which is aProxyProperty. In your dictionary, this entry has value 'None', but it lookslike setting a property to value 'None' is not handled correctly inservermanager.py. As a workaround, I suggest filtering out properties fromyour dictionary that have 'None' as a value, i.e., do not add those propertyvalues to your dictionary.


HTH,
Cory

    Hi Cory,


    Trying to find out what causes the former problems, I inserted a line that
    just sets the property that got collected so far:

https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/b8058f774535398da3767048219df12d6354e6c5#diff-2804420278bfff084788b82c715c452eR59<https://github.com/romangrothausmann/ParaView_scripts/commit/b8058f774535398da3767048219df12d6354e6c5#diff-2804420278bfff084788b82c715c452eR59>

    It already aborts on the first property encountered (ForceUseCache):

    <paraview.servermanager.GeometryRepresentation object at 0x7f7b591fc250>
    ForceUseCache 0
    Traceback (most recent call last):
       File "/net/home/paraview/scripts/pvsm-multi.py", line 91, in <module>
         main()
       File "/net/home/paraview/scripts/pvsm-multi.py", line 59, in main
         pvs.SetProperties(repr, **d)
       File
    "/opt/paraview-5.3.0_GL1/lib/paraview-5.3/site-packages/paraview/simple.py",
    line 567, in SetProperties
         raise AttributeError("object has no property %s" % param)
    AttributeError: object has no property ForceUseCache

    Is ListProperties() returning properties that are not part of the specific
    object that is calling ListProperties()?

    Many thanks for any help or hints,
    Roman
