Shima,
I've CC this to the paraview mailing list, so that others might help.
I am sorry to tell you that I don't know of a way this could be accomplished,
as I have very little experience with python scripting. I would also like to
be able to read in a .csv file and produce splines or lines. Some
information on python scripting within paraview is given here
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/ParaView#Python_Scripting, and I was directed to this
site from the vtk mailing list, but the code is not written for python
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/VTK/Examples/Cxx/GeometricObjects/PolyLine . My best
suggestion would be to place your .csv file into a text format and try to copy
and paste the xyz coordinates, just be careful of spacing changes between text
from the copy and paste. This is what I plan on doing.

Hello Lan,
I read your code. it was really helpful for me as i had the same problem as
yours. but I still need some infos. how to have access to a file which contains
more than 100 points with their coordinates. Because it takes too much time to
enter them in the script by their coordinates. my file is a ".csv" one and I
don't know how to access that via the python shell or Macro.
If you could help me, I would be very thankful
Shima

Thanks Jerome! I got it to work. The copy and paste limitation must have been
the problem. I hand typed it in and saved it as a macro and then added
DataRepresentation1 = Show()DataRepresentation1.EdgeColor = [0.0, 0.0,
0.5000076295109483] before Render() and everything seems to work fine.
Below is the code I used for the macro for anyone else who may need this.
Worked for me running ParaView 3.12.0-RC3.
try: paraview.simple
except: from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()
s = SplineSource()
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName("Closed",1)
pointA = [1,2,3]
pointB = [6,5,4]
pointC = [7,8,9]
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName("Points", pointA+pointB+pointC)
DataRepresentation1 = Show()DataRepresentation1.EdgeColor = [0.0, 0.0,
0.5000076295109483]
Render()

Hum... I guess you copied my code lines and pasted them in the python shell,
right?
I found a limitation of the python shell, but I didn't take the time to report
it: when I copy several lines from a file to the paraview python shell, they
are not executed. Moreover, the unix-style "middle click direct copied" line is
also not executed, though the characters are well written!!
Try this:
- copy/paste the lines one by one with ctrl+c / ctrl+v method
- or (prefered!) create a file that you execute as a macro from the "Macros"
menu
- or re-type by hand all the lines ;)
FYI, I compile frequently the git-master and this method always worked for me.
So should be with 3.12.
HTH,
Jerome

Hi Jerome,
Thanks for explaining in more detail. I tried the script but only
two spline points were produced at 0,0,0 and 1,0,0. No errors are given, so I
can't point to a line in the code. I am running ParaView 3.12.0, perhaps
something changed between 3.10 and 3.12 to affect the script? It is also
possible I am overlooking something very obvious as I have only just started to
use the python scripting in paraview.
This is the script I ran in the python shell
s = SplineSource()
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName( "Closed", 1 )
pointA = [1,2,3]
pointB = [6,5,4]
pointC = [7,8,9]
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName( "Points", pointA+pointB+pointC)
My goal is to have a python script that will take multiple point locations
given in the script or from a file and produce a spline without having to
manually enter them into the spline source one at a time. Open to any
suggestions and all ideas.
Thanks,
Ian

Hi,
it is more a ParaView-related question, so I changed the list name ;)
I tried again the solution Pat proposed in the post, and I am sorry to tell you
that it works without changing anything...
I just can be more precise. Please follow these steps in the paraview python
shell :
s = SplineSource()
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName( "Closed", 1 ) # Now, the "Closed
Spline" property toggles to "checked"
pointA = [1,2,3]
pointB = [6,5,4]
pointC = [7,8,9]
s.ParametricFunction.SetPropertyWithName( "Points", pointA+pointB+pointC) #
Now, the three points appear in the spline points list
Then press apply : the spline appears in the render window.
If you experience problems, please tell me which steps are guilty.
HTH,
Jerome

Hi,
I saw your post on getting the spline function to work in the pyhthon shell
within ParaView on the vtk.org users mailing list and was wondering if you
would be willing to share your solution with me. I wasn't able to implement
the suggested solution based on the post alone
