paraview.simple.WarpByScalar

paraview.simple.WarpByScalar(*input, **params)

The Warp (scalar) filter translates the points of the input data set along a vector by a distance determined by the specified scalars. This filter operates on polygonal, curvilinear, and unstructured grid data sets containing single-component scalar arrays. Because it only changes the positions of the points, the output data set type is the same as that of the input. Any scalars in the input dataset are copied to the output, so the data can be colored by them.

Data Descriptors

GenerateEnclosure

If this value is checked and the active data set is a 2D surface, generate a water-tight enclosure containing the initial surface, the warped surface and “side walls”.

Input

This property specifies the input to the Warp (scalar) filter.

Normal

The values of this property specify the direction along which to warp the dataset if any normals contained in the input dataset are not being used for this purpose. (See the UseNormal property.)

Scalars

This property contains the name of the scalar array by which to warp the dataset.

ScaleFactor

The scalar value at a given point is multiplied by the value of this property to determine the magnitude of the change vector for that point.

UseNormal

If point normals are present in the dataset, the value of this property toggles whether to use a single normal value (value = 1) or the normals from the dataset (value = 0).

XYPlane

If the value of this property is 1, then the Z-coordinates from the input are considered to be the scalar values, and the displacement is along the Z axis. This is useful for creating carpet plots.

Methods

Initialize = aInitialize(self, connection=None, update=True)

Methods inherited from SourceProxy

FileNameChanged(self)

Called when the filename of a source proxy is changed.

GetCellDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated cell data information.

GetDataInformation(self, idx=None)

This method returns a DataInformation wrapper around a vtkPVDataInformation

GetFieldDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated cell data information.

GetPointDataInformation(self)

Returns the associated point data information.

UpdatePipeline(self, time=None)

This method updates the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated data information. Make sure to update a source to validate the output meta-data.

UpdatePipelineInformation(self)

This method updates the meta-data of the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated information properties

__getitem__(self, idx)

Given a slice, int or string, returns the corresponding output port

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)

Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.

ListProperties(self)

Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.

SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)

Generic method for setting the value of a property.

__del__(self)

Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary

__eq__(self, other)

Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.

__getattr__(self, name)

With the exception of a few overloaded methods, returns the SMProxy method

__hash__(self)

Return hash(self).

__init__(self, **args)

Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional) can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register the proxy with the proxy manager.

__iter__(self)

Creates an iterator for the properties.

__ne__(self, other)

Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.

__setattr__(self, name, value)

Implement setattr(self, name, value).

add_attribute(self, name, value)
