paraview
Package¶The paraview package provides modules used to script ParaView. Generally, users should import the modules of interest directly e.g.:
from paraview.simple import *
However, one may want to import paraview package before importing any of the ParaView modules to force backwards compatibility to an older version:
# To run scripts written for ParaView 4.0 in newer versions, you can use the
# following.
import paraview
paraview.compatibility.major = 4
paraview.compatibility.minor = 0
# Now, import the modules of interest.
from paraview.simple import *
paraview.__init__.
