Paraview create line segments from CSV with "width" data


I want to create line segments in Paraview. The format of my input data for each line segment is as: x0,y0,z0,x1,y1,z1,width I have tried using "Line" command like:

    for i in range(600):
      l = Line(Point1=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0),Point2=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0))

But, I can't find a way to specify the width to each line segment. Your help will be much appreciated. Best Regards, Hamid Rajabi.


Solution

  • The Line object does not know about the width. It is only a list of connected points. The width is a parameter of the representation. You can try something like that:

    # get active view
    renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
    
    for i in range(600):
      l = Line(Point1=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0),Point2=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0))
      # get display properties
      line1Display = GetDisplayProperties(l, view=renderView1)
    
      # Properties modified on line1Display
      line1Display.LineWidth = 4.0
