Hello,

I'm trying to run a very simple python script with Paraview 4.0.1 64 bit and I get the error message
NameError: name 'LegacyVTKReader' is not defined

The script is :

try: paraview.simple
except: from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

solid_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['D:\\PostProcessing\\solid.vtk'] )
Render()

To run it, I open the Python shell in Paraview and press "Run Script" button.

Can someone test it? Maybe I'm not importing the paraview commands properly? Any advice is welcome

Also: If I type solid_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['D:\\PostProcessing\\solid.vtk'] ) in the python shell, it works... But I'd like to use a rather complex script which I can't type in the shell....

Hi Eloïse,

Unfortunately not all macros generated by the Trace feature in ParaView will work out-of-the-box. Try this script instead:

from paraview.simple import *
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

solid_vtk = LegacyVTKReader( FileNames=['D:\\PostProcessing\\solid.vtk'] )
Render()

Although... it's weird... because at first it didn't work as well, but after a couple of tries with the original code, it works fine. Perhaps it has a few issues with expecting that the base Python code to be already in memory!?

Best regards,
Bruno
