Hi Celia, if you use the vtkWriter directly without using a proxy you will need to do:
writer.SetInput(o.GetClientSideObject()) But the better way to do that is by following http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Python_Scripting#Writing_Data_Files_.28ParaView_3.9_or_later.29 And maybe, you might be interested in looking at some other examples here: http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_recipes Hope that helps, Seb On Thu, Nov 15, 2012 at 10:22 PM, Celia Bremer <fuw...@hotmail.com> wrote: > > Tim, > Thank you.
