Hi Cory,

thanks a lot! I was missing the import statements. Now it works fine.
And I will remember the big Apply button :-).

Hi Ian,

I'm glad to hear you are interested in the Python View.

    I want to try out the python view for the first time, but I am not
    getting anywhere. I have created a python view and defined the
    functions setup_data and render. I tried the example script from the
    Kitware Blog (http://www.kitware.com/blog/__home/post/588
    <http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/588>), and I do get the
    memory size in the output messages, but the python view stays all
    black (no plot, no axes, nothing). Am I just missing something?
    I am using ParaView 4.3.1 64-bit Windows binaries.


Did you copy and paste the script examples into the "Script" window, or
did you load the example state file on the blog? I suggest loading the
state file because the script examples in the blog post are missing some
imports that are needed. The state file has the complete script - I just
confirmed that it works on the 4.3.1 64-bit Windows binaries. You will
have to point ParaView to the bluntfin.vts file when you load the state
file, which you can download from

http://www.paraview.org/gitweb?p=ParaViewData.git;a=blob_plain;f=Data/bluntfin.vts;hb=1fa9dce1c623e2d467c44b5337ba3a8378a6a537


    Besides, I find it a little confusing, that I do not really know,
    when the script is executed. What about something like an 'Apply'
    button?


The Script is an auto-update property of the Python View. As such, it is
executed any time the view needs to re-render. This includes any time
you edit the script and then click elsewhere in the GUI, resize the
ParaView window, etc. It should work to click on the Python View after
you have edited the script - think of it as a big Apply button :-)

Thanks,
Cory


    Kind regards
    Ian
