class paraview.web.helper.Pipeline(name)

Bases: object

Define a data structure that represent a pipeline as a tree. This provide also methods to get the data structure for the web environment

addNode(parent_id, node_id)

Add node into the pipeline tree.

clear()

Clear the pipeline tree.

getRootNode(view=None)

Create a tree structure of the pipeline with the current proxy state.

isEmpty()

removeNode(id)

Remove a node from the pipeline tree.

paraview.web.helper.apply_domains(parentProxy, proxy_id)

Handle bounds domain

paraview.web.helper.extractDomain(proxy, propertyName, xmlDomainElement)

paraview.web.helper.extractProperty(proxy, xmlPropertyElement)

paraview.web.helper.getParentProxyId(proxy)

Return ‘0’ if the given proxy has no Input otherwise will return the parent proxy id as a String.

paraview.web.helper.getProxyAsPipelineNode(id, view=None)

Create a representation for that proxy so it can be used within a pipeline browser.

paraview.web.helper.getProxyAsState(id)

Return a json representation of the given proxy state.

Example of the state of the Clip filter

{

proxy_id: 234, ClipType: {

proxy_id: 235, Normal: [0,0,1], Origin: [0,0,0], InsideOut: 0

}

}

Return a json based structured based on the proxy XML.

paraview.web.helper.idToProxy(id)

Return the proxy that match the given proxy ID.

paraview.web.helper.listFiles(pathToList)

Create a tree structure of the given directory that will be understand by the pipelineBrowser widget. The provided path should not have a trailing ‘/’.

return {

children: [

{ name: ‘fileName.vtk’, path: ‘/full_path/to_file/fileName.vtk’ }, { name: ‘directoryName’, path: ‘/full_path/to_file/directoryName’, children: [] }

]

}

paraview.web.helper.removeUnicode(value)

paraview.web.helper.updateProxyProperties(proxy, properties)

Loop over the properties object and update the mapping properties to the given proxy.
