Hi all,

I want to automize postprocessing with ParaView with a Pythonscript. So I have got two basic questions before I start trying.

1. Is it even possible to automize ParaView with just a Pythonscript? So that i just have to start ParaView and the script starts to run

2. If it is possible is there a list with the commands I can use in ParaView, like the one for Salome?

Thanks in advance

I found something that is even better than a list of commands.
Tools -> start Trace is really nice

So my script is done but still one question remains.

Is it possible to autorun the script?

Greetings Nigirim,

When in doubt, on Linux, you can usually run commands with "-help" or "--help" for more information. On Windows, it can also be "/?".
In ParaView's case:

paraview --help

You should get something like this:

  --connect-id=opt      Set the ID of the server and client to make sure they match.

  --cslog=opt           ClientServerStream log file.

  --data=opt            Load the specified data. To specify file series replace the numeral with a '.' eg. my0.vtk, my1.vtk...myN.vtk becomes my..vtk

  --data-directory=opt  Set the data directory where test-case data are.

  --disable-light-kit   When present, disables light kit by default. Useful for dashboard tests.

  --disable-registry    
  -dr                   Do not use registry when running ParaView (for testing).

  --exit                Exit application when testing is done. Use for testing.

  --help                
  /?                    Displays available command line arguments.

  --machines=opt        
  -m=opt                Specify the network configurations file for the render server.

  --script=opt          Set a python script to be evaluated on startup.

  --server=opt          
  -s=opt                Set the name of the server resource to connect with when the client starts.

  --state=opt           Load the specified statefile (.pvsm).

  --stereo              Tell the application to enable stereo rendering

  --stereo-type=opt     Specify the stereo type. This valid only when --stereo is specified. Possible values are "Crystal Eyes", "Red-Blue", "Interlaced", "Dresden", "Anaglyph", "Checkerboard"

  --test-baseline=opt   Add test baseline. Can be used multiple times to specify multiple baselines for multiple tests, in order.

  --test-directory=opt  Set the temporary directory where test-case output will be stored.

  --test-script=opt     Add test script. Can be used multiple times to specify multiple tests.

  --test-threshold=opt  Add test image threshold. Can be used multiple times to specify multiple image thresholds for multiple tests in order.

  --version             
  -V                    Give the version number and exit.

Looks like what you're looking for is this:

paraview --script=path/to/the/script/script.py

Best regards,
Bruno
