[Paraview] setting graphical window size

[Moreland, Kenneth]

When you write an image, you can specify a resolution to use independent of the size of the GUI.  If you type in the same resolution every time, you should get the same projection.

Hi,

I'm using to paraview to create screenshots of multiple sets of data
(12+). Each dataset is located in a separate file and may have different
boundary conditions or different surfaces. (i.e. they are not identical
- although they *might* have elements in common and their domain size is
the same). I've written a simple script (below) using python to set my
camera angle the same between loading the state for each scenario

However, I have one difficulty, if I have exited paraview or resized the
windows (or .#%#@.. it crashed ) the size & aspect ratio of the window
displaying my 3D view may change. This results in my screenshots have
differing resolutions i.e. my first series had 1198x712 but my next was
1106x780. I know you can specify this resolution in the save screenshot
dialog - however this is after the fact and some elements seem to differ
based on the real size (i.e. legends)

I can't seem to find an option to specify the size of this window, but I
assume I may be able to via python ? can anyone help with this ?

Also would love to know how to move the location of the orientation axes ?

For reference, I am not a python programmer ( but can program C, C++,
Fortran ... ) so forgive any style mistakes.

Thanks, John

My quick script to set camera state is: (iso_L.py)
#!/usr/bin/env python

from paraview.servermanager import *
if not servermanager.ActiveConnection:
    connection = servermanager.Connect()
view = servermanager.GetRenderView()
camera = view.GetActiveCamera()
view.CameraPosition=[0.5,-4,4]
view.CameraFocalPoint=[2.915, 0, 0.821]
view.CameraViewUp=[0, 0, 1]
view.CameraViewAngle=30
#view.ResetCamera()
view.StillRender()
