[Paraview] Save Layout, Stream Tracer

[Karin ....]

Thank you for the quick response.

 

I have now succeeded with generating "Stream Tracer" in my surface. 

I used the filter "Stream Tracer with Custom Source" 

But first I had to create "Surface Vectors" as input, then a form of source. 

I used "Extract Selection" and selected points with the tool from the edit menu. 

 

But is possible to use a probe location as a source? Because that definitely don't work for me. 

 

I mean, every time I add new points into the Extract Selection, my old ones disappears. I can’t select two points far away from each other at the same time. 

Of course I can add all the points in the “Selection Inspector” to the Extract Selection, but then I have to remember the index from each point that I want to extract. Is it not possible to just add more points to the ExtractSelection list without erasing the old ones? 

 

I have also tried to make a custom Filter so I don't have to create "Surface Vectors", "Extract Selection" and "Stream Tracer with Custom Source" every time I want a streamline. But then I couldn't change the properties for the points in Extract Selection. The only alternatives is “Preserve Topology” and “Show bounds”. 

How can I easily save all my settings without open a new layout every time?

You could try using lookmarks, which are design to save a portion of the state and then apply that to different input data.  Lookmarks are created by clicking on the lookmark icon in that little bar above the view.

That said, although lookmarks are nice when they work, they tend to be quite inflexible.  Coming soon we are planning to replace the lookmark functionality with a more configurable macro capability that is driven by Python scripting.

Can you save a specific layout in Paraview and then reload another data into it? For example every time I load a update on my figure, the color legend changes and I have to change all the settings again. I also have to insert all the textboxes again, and I find it quite annoying.
