paraview.simple.PPLYWriter

paraview.simple.PPLYWriter(*input, **params)
Writer to write polygonal data in Stanford University PLY format. The data can be written in either binary (little or big endian) or ASCII representation. As for PointData and CellData, vtkPLYWriter cannot handle normals or vectors. It only handles RGB PointData and CellData. This version is used when running in parallel. It gathers data to first node and saves one file.

Data Descriptors

ColorArrayName
The array that will be used for saving color information when **Enable Coloring** is ON.
EnableColoring
Specify whether color information should be saved in the PLY file. If enable, the data source’s coloring state i.e. the array to color with and the transfer function from the active view will be used.
FileName
The name of the file to be written.
FileType
The type for the data file (i.e. ascii or binary).
Input
The input filter/source whose output dataset is to written to the file.
LookupTable
Set the lookup table to use for scalar mapping.

Data Descriptors inherited from SourceProxy

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
__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)

add_attribute(self, name, value)
