I'm trying to extract data from a slice in a Python script using Paraview 4.2. I have something like this:
from paraview.numpy_support import vtk_to_numpy
from paraview.simple import *
import os
os.environ["DISPLAY"] = ":0"
paraview.simple._DisableFirstRenderCameraReset()
# create a new 'XDMF Reader'
xDMFtemporalFieldsxmf = XDMFReader(FileNames=['<pathtodata>/XDMF.temporalFields.xmf'])
# Properties modified on xDMFtemporalFieldsxmf
xDMFtemporalFieldsxmf.PointArrayStatus = ['DensityProperty-mesh', 'VelocityField']
xDMFtemporalFieldsxmf.CellArrayStatus = []
# create a new 'Slice'
slice1 = Slice(Input=xDMFtemporalFieldsxmf)
# create a new 'Clip'
clip1 = Clip(Input=slice1)
clip1.ClipType = 'Scalar'
clip1.Value = 1200.0
So all I want to do is extract the VelocityField data from the clip, preferably with coordinate locations for each data point.
Here is some of my exploration:
>> print clip1
<paraview.servermanager.Clip object at 0x7f1a14e356d0>
>> print clip1.PointData.keys()
[]
>> print clip1.FieldData.keys()
[]
>> proxy = servermanager.Proxy(proxy=clip1.SMProxy)
>> for property in proxy:
>> print property
<paraview.servermanager.Scalar object at 0x7f1a4e346850>
<paraview.servermanager.Slice object at 0x7f1a14e35190>
None
0
0
[None, '']
0
1200.0
>> print paraview.numpy_support.vtk_to_numpy(clip1.SMProxy)

Any further exploration always seems to lead me back to FieldDataInformation or PointDataInformation objects - and not the actual data!
A previous method that worked for extracting point XYZ positions was this:
data = servermanager.Fetch(clip1)
d2 = data.GetPoints()
xyz = zeros((d2.GetNumberOfPoints(), 3))
for i in range(d2.GetNumberOfPoints()):
xyz[i,:] = data.GetPoint(i)
EDIT - the output for this is:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
AttributeError Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-11-e34f36729df1> in <module>()
1 data = servermanager.Fetch(clip1)
2 d2 = data.GetPoints()
----> 3 xyz = zeros((d2.GetNumberOfPoints(), 3))
4 for i in range(d2.GetNumberOfPoints()):
5 xyz[i,:] = data.GetPoint(i)
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetNumberOfPoints'
But yeah, it doesn't seem to work anymore, and I thought with all this Numpy integration there would be something a bit neater.
EDIT2: The output for Utkarsh's question:
>> clip1.UpdatePipeline()
>> rawData = servermanager.Fetch(clip1)
>> import vtk.numpy_interface.dataset_adapter as dsa
>> # Wrap the raw data object to access NumPy friendly API
>> data = dsa.WrapDataObject(rawData) # Note I changed this from Utkarsh's "data" to "rawData"
>> print data.Points
>> print data.PointData["VelocityField"]
gives:
None
<vtk.numpy_interface.dataset_adapter.VTKNoneArray object at 0x7f57c4a75390>
What's the error you're getting with the previous method. It should work. Even better way is as follows:
# ensure that the clip1 filter is updated.
clip1.UpdatePipeline()
rawData = servermanager.Fetch(clip1)
import vtk.numpy_interface.dataset_adapter as dsa
# Wrap the raw data object to access NumPy friendly API
data = dsa.WrapDataObject(rawData)
print(data.Points)
