I'm pretty new to paraview so could be doing fundamentally wrong here, but
here's my issue...
I have paraview 3.10 compiled/installed from source on Ubuntu 10. I'm using
a python script to connect to pvserver, iterate over a bunch of vtk files,
do some stuff, and saving the output as a png. I'm ru
Hi Karl,
It sounds like a memory leak problem. Have you tried opening the System
Monitor in ubuntu and watching the memory usage of pvserver as you run your
script? Can you post your script so we can take a look at it, maybe you
aren't cleaning up after you process each file?
You can pass --csl
Hi Pat,
Yes -- I should have gone with my first suspicion. It is indeed a memory
leak. I'm obviously not cleaning stuff up properly... which doesn't surprise
me because my script really is kind of a hack... I have attached it.
Basically it reads a directory of vtk files, loops over each, volume-re
Hi,
Your loop is leaking readers. At the end of your loop, call
Delete(reader). The Delete() function is analogous to selecting an object
in the paraview gui and pressing the delete key. You'll still leak some
objects, there are more thorough ways you cleanup, but deleting the reader

Pat,
Ah! That makes sense now I think about it.
So I put the call at the end of my routine, and it pukes after the first
file:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 52, in
Delete(reader)
File "/usr/local/lib/paraview-3.11/paraview/simple.py", line 367, in
Delete
Actually, it may be leaking display properties. Try:
Delete(dp)
The best thing to do in scripts is to be consistent in whether you use
the simple or the servermanager to create objects. If you use the
simple module, make sure you call Delete(). If you are using
servermanager, you don't have to ca
Yes, this seems to work very well! Thank you so much for the help!
Cheers,
Karl
