Animation View is used to set up animations in ParaView. It's is accessible through View | Animation View. This article describes this view and how to use it to create simple animations.

The Animation View is intended to be a replacement for the Animation Inspector in ParaView 3.0. The Animation Inspector will be deprecated in future versions.


User Interface

Figure 1: Animation View

Figure 1 shows the the animation view. It is a standard dockable widget. There are three major portions to this panel:

  • Scene Properties:
Show/Edit properties associated with the scene which affect the playback/saving animation.
  • Animated Parameters:
Shows the animation tracks for each of the filter/source/camera paramters being animated in this setup.
  • Animate more Paramaters:
Provides means to add animation tracks for other available parameters.


Use Cases

We will now see a few use-cases which will illustrate the use of this panel and each of its components.

Animate Parameters

One of the simplest animation set up is where the user wants to change a parameter on a filter or source through the course of the animation. For this use-case consider the following pipeline:

This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.
