paraview.simple.StreamTracerWithCustomSource(*input, **params)
The

Stream Tracer With Custom Source filter generates streamlines in a vector field from a collection of seed points. Production of streamlines terminates if a streamline crosses the exterior boundary of the input dataset (ReasonForTermination=1). Other reasons for termination include an initialization issue (ReasonForTermination=2), computing an unexpected value (ReasonForTermination=3), reached the Maximum Streamline Length input value (ReasonForTermination=4), reached the Maximum Steps input value (ReasonForTermination=5), and velocity was lower than the Terminal Speed input value (ReasonForTermination=6). This filter operates on any type of dataset, provided it has point-centered vectors. The output is polygonal data containing polylines. This filter takes a Source input that provides the seed points.

Data Descriptors

ComputeVorticity

Specify whether to compute vorticity.

InitialStepLength

This property specifies the initial integration step size. For non-adaptive integrators (Runge-Kutta 2 and Runge-Kutta 4), it is fixed (always equal to this initial value) throughout the integration. For an adaptive integrator (Runge-Kutta 4-5), the actual step size varies such that the numerical error is less than a specified threshold.

Input

This property specifies the input to the Stream Tracer filter.

IntegrationDirection

This property determines in which direction(s) a streamline is generated.

IntegrationStepUnit

This property specifies the unit for Minimum/Initial/Maximum integration step size. The Length unit refers to the arc length that a particle travels/advects within a single step. The Cell Length unit represents the step size as a number of cells.

IntegratorType

This property determines which integrator (with increasing accuracy) to use for creating streamlines.

InterpolatorType

This property determines which interpolator to use for evaluating the velocity vector field. The first is faster though the second is more robust in locating cells during streamline integration.

MaximumError

This property specifies the maximum error (for Runge-Kutta 4-5) tolerated throughout streamline integration. The Runge-Kutta 4-5 integrator tries to adjust the step size such that the estimated error is less than this threshold.

MaximumStepLength

When using the Runge-Kutta 4-5 integrator, this property specifies the maximum integration step size.

MaximumSteps

This property specifies the maximum number of steps, beyond which streamline integration is terminated.

MaximumStreamlineLength

This property specifies the maximum streamline length (i.e., physical arc length), beyond which line integration is terminated.

MinimumStepLength

When using the Runge-Kutta 4-5 integrator, this property specifies the minimum integration step size.

SeedSource

This property specifies the input used to obtain the seed points.

SurfaceStreamlines

Specify whether to compute surface streamlines.

TerminalSpeed

This property specifies the terminal speed, below which particle advection/integration is terminated.

UseLocalSeedSource

If true the filter considers that the whole seed source is available on all ranks. Else the filter will aggregate all seed sources from all ranks and merge their points. WARNING: do not set this value to true unless you know what you’re doing.

Vectors

This property contains the name of the vector array from which to generate streamlines.

Methods inherited from Proxy

GetProperty(self, name)

Given a property name, returns the property object.

GetPropertyValue(self, name)

Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property itself for vectors.

InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)
