Dear all,

I'm writing a script to automate some tasks when post-processing with ParaView 5.0.0. I use Tools > Start Trace to convert the mouse movements to Python code. However, the tracing does not work / does not generate code when loading a cameraview (.pvcc file) and I don't seem to be the only one who has had this problem.

Has anyone have found a workaround solution or found the code equivalent?

I forgot to post the solution that I came up with some time ago:

    # Read pvcc file
    A = []
    with open(top_path + '/' + pvccfile) as fileobject:
        A = fileobject.read()
    
    B = ''.join(A)
    C = B.replace('\n','')

    xpos = re.findall('<Element index="0" value="(.*)"/>(.*)<Element index="1"',match_pos[0])
    ypos = re.findall('<Element index="1" value="(.*)"/>(.*)<Element index="2"',match_pos[0])
    zpos = re.findall('<Element index="2" value="(.*)"/>',match_pos[0])
    xpos = float(xpos[0][0])
    ypos = float(ypos[0][0])
    zpos = float(zpos[0])
    
    # CameraFocalPoint
    match_foc = re.findall('<Property name="CameraFocalPoint"(.*)<Property name="CameraViewUp"',C)

    zrot = float(zrot[0])
    
    # RotationFactor
    match_fac = re.findall('<Property name="RotationFactor"(.*)<Property name="CameraViewAngle"',C)
    rotation_factor = re.findall('<Element index="0" value="(.*)"/>',match_fac[0])
