I am trying to control Paraview interactively using IDLE. This would involve sending commands from IDLE and seeing the changes occur in Paraview. I would rather not use the in-Paraview python shell. So far, I have succeeded in importing the Paraview modules (simple, servermanager…etc) from IDLE. However the commands sent do not reflect in Paraview. For instance: >>> from paraview.simple import * >>> cone = Cone() >>> Show() >>> Render() does indeed create a cone. However the cone is output to a new, independent OpenGL window, and not the Paraview GUI. Is it possible to control Paraview interactively using IDLE? If so how to accomplish this?
