Randy,
Here's how I'd proceed.
1. Create a programmable source to read a file series as a temporal
dataset. (you have this already).
2. Let the users use ParaView to save animation or screenshots once
they are satisfied.
3. You can put the "Extract TimeSteps" filter after your reader
(before any
Have a user read in a state file to experiment with a pipeline/filters on a
single data file, e.g. they may have 1000 files and they want to initially
look at the last one. When they’re content with the vis on a single file,
they’d like to view an animation in PV on all (or mod N) files. When
Randy,
Mind explaining to me what;s your ultimate goal? The way I see it,
there are two options:
1. Provide your users with a state file that they load in ParaView UI
and then use the UI to save animation or images. Use the UI to move
back and forth through the timesteps, etc.
2. Provide your
No, no, I’m sure it’s *me* who’s confused. I’m not sure I understand what
you’re saying. Are you suggesting keeping the (full) range of timesteps in my
script and then, somehow, only render the one of interest? If so, that would be
great, except the way things are currently working for me,
Oops. I meant to say -- "I am a little confused here" :).

Hmm, little confused here? Why not keep the timesteps in the reader
unchanged and explcitly do the timestep of interest and save

Utkarsh,
Thanks very much for that! Yes, after some fiddling, I got it to work, i.e., I
can save .png files for an animation! So now that I’m using the Programmable
Source(RequestInfo) script to accomplish the animation, how do I, during a PV
session, *easily* switch back to render a single
Randy,
You attempting to mix the Python scripting for data processing and
Python scripting for batch scripting. The two environments are
separate. Here's how I'd tackle it.
1. Make your "Programmable Source" become a temporal source i.e.
report to ParaView that it can produce timesteps matching
