Hello, I use Paraview to visualize optical measurement data during buckling experiments we perform at our institute. Normally I do the visualization after the test, however, I would like to extend our capabilities and monitor the results during the test. I have some experience in Python scripting in Paraview, but I cannot figure out how to dynamically add files to a reader. What I would like to do is launch a script that observes a directory for new files, automatically load the file and update the render window to the last entry. In pseudo code I would like to do something like the following (not working):
>> observer = MyObserver('my_directory') >> reader = XMLUnstructuredGridReader(FileName = ['stage-1.vtu']) >> warp = WarpByVector() >> .... >> while True: fname = observer.next() if fname: reader.FileName.append(fname) UpdatePipeline() Render() >> Can something like this be accomplished with the python scripting interface to Paraview? Thanks in advance and kind regards, Marco National Aerospace Laboratory (NLR) _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
