Paraview programmatically Save Screenshot not working on an XYChartView

Using ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Paraview 5.0.1. I have a Layout with two views, one RenderView and one LineChartView.

I want to programmatically Save Screenshot and Save Animation of the two together. When doing either one, and also when doing this with only the LineChartView, only a portion of it shows up in the created image. The image below shows an example, where the error is evident.

enter image description here

The same result is obtained when saving the image with:

  1. WriteImage("test.png")
  2. SaveScreenshot("test.png"). Tried several combinations of ImageQuality, ImageResolution, magnification.
  3. Via menu (not my final target, but I tried it).

How can I programmatically get the correct images/animations, both of this View alone and paired with another one?

Solution

  • As posted by Cory Quammen in a comment, upgarding to 5.4.1 seemed to work. I wouldn't know if suitably setting some parameters (e.g., lineChartView1.ViewSize and/or in SaveScreenshot) this could also work in 5.0.1.
