![]() ![]() In GUI ParaView, click Tools → Start Trace from the toolbar. If this is the case and you're trying to find a way to do something you know you can do in the GUI version, you can use the following steps. While some PvPython commands are intuitive or well documented, there are many commands that are difficult if not impossible to find information about. A list of parameters can be seen by calling dir(sphere). Feel free to mess around with different parameters and Render() them to see the result. There you go! The sphere should get a bit smoother. Render() # Changes wont update untill Render() is called Let's try increasing both of these to get a better sphere. ThetaResolution is the number of points you have for each horizontal plane (lines of latitude) and PhiResolution is the number of points in each vertical slice (lines of longitude). Spheres have two parameters that contribute to their resolution: ThetaResolution and PhiResolution. Let's try making it rounder by updating its parameters. You may notice the sphere has a pretty low resolution. To be able to interact with the view, including moving the camera, moving the window, and closing the window. ![]() Notice that if you hover over this window it may say “Not Responding.” That is expected, the window will close when you close PvPython and will update whenever Render is called in the terminal. This will bring up a window in which you can see your sphere. Do this by calling Show()įinally, to view the sphere call the command Render() This creates the sphere but we also need to “show” it to make it visible in the render. Let's start off by creating a sphere and rendering it from the terminal.įirst, you'll want to create a sphere object with the following: To access methods outside the simple package, those need to be imported separately. This will give you all the base functionality. The first thing you should do after opening the terminal is run from paraview.simple import * This can be found in the Windows start menu by searching PvPython. To get started with PvPython, find the PvPython executable on your computer. If you're interested in creating scripts I would recommend reading this entire article (especially How To Find Python Commands) before getting started. A note on using the terminal: PvPython is not particularly intuitive and not particularly well documented. ![]() This tutorial will follow the same procedure as the GUI tutorial, of course, except that it uses the terminal. If you haven’t already, check out the Getting Started With Paraview tutorial here for the installation and basic functionality of the software. Welcome to this tutorial on getting started with PvPython, Paraview’s terminal that holds all the same functionality as Paraview’s GUI interface, but allows for an interface more familiar to terminal users.
