This should do the trick: http://paraview.org/Wiki/Take_a_Screenshot_of_a_VTP_File (linked to from here: http://paraview.org/Wiki/Python_recipes (this could use some organizing) ). Or you probably don't need Paraview at all for this - why not use VTK directly? http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/Utilities/Screenshot David _______________________________________________ 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
