Hello,
I am trying to figure out how to save a visualization in Paraview
directly to ps/eps format.
I have compiled from source paraview 3.6 with the configuration option
VTK_USE_GL2PS set to ON.
There are many hits in the mailing list archives regarding trying to use
vtkGL2PSExporter to achieve this but I couldn't find anything that I
could make work.
I know that I can just use WriteImage("test.eps",
Writer="vtkPostScriptWriter") in the python shell to get what I am
asking for.
However, I wonder if GL2PS could provide a better looking eps file, and
having spent a couple of hours on this, I would really like to get to
the bottom of this.
I have looked at the vtkGL2PSExporter class reference at
http://www.vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkGL2PSExporter.html and from
there followed the vtkGL2PSExporter (Tests) link which provides examples
of unit testing that is done on the class. One example is actually
titled "test vector EPS output"
However, even after doing a: from paraview import vtk in the python
shell, when I try to follow the test example and do exp =
vtk.vtkGL2PSExporter() I get the following error:
AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'vtkGL2PSExporter'
Can anyone shine any light on how to actually utilize the
vtkGL2PSExporter in Paraview to export an .eps, my impression is that it
has to be done in the Python Shell, and I am not very familiar with Python.
Thank You,
Marcin Sliwowski
