Dear All,

For some reason, I am getting error messages running a python batch script
when I try to execute WriteImage on an XYPlotView. I have tried various
combinations but I get the same error message each time:

paraview version 3.7.0, Date: 2009-10-03
vtkTecplotReader : [ ...........]
vtkExtractBlock : [ ...........]
vtkCompositeDataToUnstructuredGridFilter : [ ...........]
vtkCutter : [ ...........]
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plot_taubl_data.py", line 40, in ?
    WriteImage("test.png",XYPlotView)
  File
"/raid2/gagliard/Paraview/paraview-3.7.0-ARA-Linux-x86_64/lib/paraview-3.7/p
araview/simple.py", line 389, in WriteImage
    view.WriteImage(filename, writer, mag)
  File
"/raid2/gagliard/Paraview/paraview-3.7.0-ARA-Linux-x86_64/lib/paraview-3.7/p
araview/servermanager.py", line 319, in __ConvertArgumentsAndCall
    retVal = func(*newArgs)
TypeError: function takes exactly 1 argument (3 given)

The combinations I have tried are:

WriteImage("test.png")
WriteImage("test.png",Magnificiation=2)
WriteImage("test.png",XYPlotView,Writer=vtkPNGWriter,Magnification=2)

and I get the same error each time. I get the same error when running the
script interactively, but I can then proceed to save a screenshot without a
problem. Am I missing something or is this a bug? I am using
ParaView-3.6.2-RC2.

Regards,

Adriano
