Hi everyone, hi Sebastien,
I have a follow-up question about the exporting of X3D files via python.
I noticed that the X3DExporter (see code below) works fine, but creates
only ascii- X3D files, not the binary ones (*.X3Db). The binary export
is available through the GUI, so I'm pretty sure there must a python way
of doing it. I tried some obvious first guesses (renamed
exporters.X3DExporter(FileName="foo.x3d") to
exporters.X3DBinaryExporter(FileName="foo.x3d") for example ) , but
couldn't find a way to do it. Is there some easy way to export as binary
x3d, instead of ascii?
Thanks for reading, best regards
Andrea

Hi guys,
the solution is as follow:
from paraview.simple import *
exporters=servermanager.createModule("exporters")
source=Cone()
view = GetActiveView()
Show(view)
render=Render()
x3dExporter=exporters.X3DExporter(FileName="foo.x3d")
x3dExporter.SetView(view) # <===== NEW LINE
x3dExporter.Write()
The reason for that is SetView and Write are not Proxy properties but
local methods on the current proxy implementation. Therefore, you must
call them as is.

Hi,
I too have this issue. I did find that View and Write attributes of
X3DExporter were removed from the
ParaViewCore/ServerImplementation/Resources/utilities.xml but removing View
does work but does not write the file.
The updated python script looks like:
from paraview.simple import *
exporters=servermanager.createModule("exporters")
source=Cone()
view = GetActiveView()
Show(view)
render=Render()
x3dExporter=exporters.X3DExporter(FileName="foo.x3d")
x3dExporter.Write()
If source, view, or render are added to the x3dexporter constructor such as
x3dExporter=exporters.X3DExporter(source,FileName="foo.x3d")
I get recursive errors:
Exception exceptions.RuntimeError: 'maximum recursion depth exceeded' in
<bound method X3DExporter.__del__ of <paraview.servermanager.X3DExporter
object at 0x2b8e69567f10>> ignored
Hopefully this bug is fixed soon or someone with knowledge can provide the
correct way to use it.
Thanks,
Pat

Hey folks,
I'm looking for a way to export X3D files with a python script for
Paraview version 3.14.
In v 3.8, what worked was:
from paraview.simple import *
exporters=servermanager.createModule("exporters")
Cone()
Show()
SetActiveView(GetRenderView())
Render()
x3dExporter=exporters.X3DExporter(View=view,
FileName="/home/iagbeck/demo/foo.x3d")
x3dExporter.Write()
but that won't work in any version > 3.8 (see also bug tracker report
here: http://vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=12738).
<http://vtk.org/Bug/view.php?id=12738>
Is there anyone who knows how to do that? Alternatively, if you have some
code snippets about exporting / importing files (tecplot bins) lying around,
please let me know!
Thanks for the help!
Andrea
