Hi i am using Paraview 4.4.0 to generate pictures for the mixture formation in a engine.

I have many time steps form openFoam calculation eg. 384 383.1 383.2 383.3.......384.

Using trace option i generated a python script to generate the pictures.

But during picture generation i do not need pictures to be generated at all time steps but only for 383 and 384.

I am attaching the code here..

#### import the simple module from the paraview
from paraview.simple import *
#### disable automatic camera reset on 'Show'
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()

#### uncomment the following to render all views

# alternatively, if you want to write images, you can use SaveScreenshot(...).

Is it possible to generate pictures at certain time steps?
If yes can someone tell me where to insert the option in the code
