Abstract: ParaView's Python library allows you to automate your visualization workflow by scripting your tasks and running them from the command line, either on your local machine or as a batch Slurm job on a remote HPC cluster, all without opening any windows. In this workshop, we will introduce ParaView's Python tools, starting with using the Trace feature to convert GUI actions into scripts and then showing how to simplify and modify those scripts. You will learn how to run them using pvpython and pvbatch, and how to explore VTK data from the ParaView Python shell.
Prerequisites: basic ParaView knowledge (importing and examining data, working with filters)
Keywords: Python, Programming, Visualization, Shell
