Hi all! I use Paraview 4.3.1. I am creating a new animation (with four panels combined) by editing an existing state file (*.pvsm) that I use as template.
The names of the legacy vtk files that I am loading as frames, are tailed by a progressive file counter (such as *.0001.vtk, *.0002.vtk and so forth). At this stage I am not able/inclined to change this arrangement. The time annotation shows the 0-based file counter, while I would like to show time values out of a given sequence: I then thought that editing the property field "TimestepValues" from <Property name="TimestepValues" id="4553.TimestepValues" number_of_elements="6"> <Element index="0" value="0"/> <Element index="1" value="1"/> <Element index="2" value="2"/> <Element index="3" value="3"/> <Element index="4" value="4"/> <Element index="5" value="5"/> </Property> into <Property name="TimestepValues" id="4555.TimestepValues" number_of_elements="6"> <Element index="0" value="0"/> <Element index="1" value="0.6"/> <Element index="2" value="1.25"/> <Element index="3" value="1.85"/> <Element index="4" value="2.5"/> <Element index="5" value="3.1"/> </Property> would have worked well. (I repeat this for all occurrences of TimestepValues owing to the four-panel arrangement.) However this is not sufficient, since the new settings are ignored and even overwritten when I save the modified state file. --1-- Is there any other feature in the pvsm file that I should tweak to make this procedure effective? --2-- Or is this idea ill-fated from the outset? --3-- If 2==true is the case, is there any recommended way so that the time annotation marks a user defined sequence of values? Thanks for thinking along and helping me out with tips and wisdom. Giordano
