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

what should be input in paraview.simple.Slice to get a slice at particular location

Answer 1

Here's an example script:

from paraview import simple as pvs
dataProducer = pvs.Wavelet()

slicer = pvs.Slice(Input=dataProducer, SliceType="Plane")
slicer.SliceType.Origin = [0, 0, 0]
slicer.SliceType.Normal = [0, 0, 1]

# To render the result, do this:
Show(slicer)
Render()
