It seems that I need the 'scalars' values from the 'Information' page of the Object Inspector (Subsection Data Arrays). How do I get these? It seems that I'm having another problem now. After creating the Slice, I set the ColorArrayName to 'scalars'. The "Color by" field changes, but the Slice is just red and pressing "Rescale to Data Range" doesn't change anything. When I manually change it to "Solid Color" and then change it back to "scalars", it works fine. This is the code: s=Slice() sdp = GetDisplayProperties(s) sdp.Input.SliceType.Normal = [0,0,1] sdp.ColorArrayName = 'scalars' What am I doing wrong?

Re: [Paraview] ParaView and Python: Position of a slice and pressing the "Rescale to Data Range"-Button
I think you are trying to set the origin of the slice plane from python? It would be sliceFilter.SliceType.Origin = [0, 0, 0]. Try entering these lines in the python console for a demo: Sphere() s = Slice() Show() for i in range(100): s.SliceType.Origin=[-0.5 + i*0.01, 0,0] Render() Note that when you set the Origin property from python it is automatically applied, you don't need to click the apply button, but the screen does not automatically render, so you need to call Render().
