python_view Module¶

python_view is a module providing access to a PythonView. It is possible to use the PythonView API directly, but this module provides convenience classes in Python.

paraview.python_view.call_render(render_function, view, width, height)[source]¶

Utility function to call the user-defined render function. This is called by the C++ side of the vtkPythonView class.

view: vtkPythonView object
width: Width of view
height: Height of view

paraview.python_view.figure_to_data(figure)[source]¶

Convert a Matplotlib figure to a numpy 2D array with RGBA uint8 channels and return it.

figure: A matplotlib figure.
return: A numpy 2D array of RGBA values.

paraview.python_view.figure_to_image(figure)[source]¶

Convert a Matplotlib figure to a vtkImageData with RGBA unsigned char channels.

figure: A matplotlib figure.
return: A vtkImageData with the Matplotlib figure content.

paraview.python_view.matplotlib_figure(width, height)[source]¶

Create a Matplotlib figure with specified width and height for rendering.

w: Width of desired plot.
h: Height of desired plot.
return: A Matplotlib figure.

paraview.python_view.numpy_to_image(numpy_array)[source]¶

Convert a numpy 2D or 3D array to a vtkImageData object.

numpy_array: 2D or 3D numpy array containing image data
return: vtkImageData with the numpy_array content
