You can record a trace in which you just apply that filter, and then save the trace as a macro.

When I execute the macro above, ParaView creates a Plot SelectionOverTime object, but when I hit Apply, nothing happens. Also it seems to me that the Macro expects a specific name for the dataset.

Re: [Paraview] Load many VTK from different folders at once
pvd files can not point to the older style vtk files, they can only point to the newer xml based vt? (vtu/vtp/vti etc) files. A script to convert between them build a two element pipeline consisting of a vtkDataSetReader connected to a vtkXMLPolyDataWriter. Set the FileNames on both and call Write() on the writer to make the converted file. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.

Would that work as I would? I mean: I would create this file with the paths in it using a simple script and then I could load this file in paraview to have everything at once… I only need to know whether that may work with .vtp only files or with vtk files as well. In case it would only work with vtk files, is there any way to convert them from vtk to vtp? Thank you all again for your time!

[Paraview] camera animation Paraview doesn't work
Dear Paraview users, I'm using Paraview.3.14. What I tried is to use camera path or Interpolate camera locations to zoom in or out of the object. But so far it is only possible to rotate the object. No matter what values the camera position gets the object doesn't goes away or near from the view. I saw some people had the same problem before, but haven't seen any answer to this. Has anyone a solution to this? Thanks in advance!
