How to set VTK result display Mode by python code?

[johnwang]

Hi,

I am trying to set the Mode and Filed of display options by program when import the VTK result file.

I want to set Mode = 'Surface'. But it doesn't work. Also tried Mode=1.

And there is no property called Field.

Need run update()? Or this function is not exposed to python?

Regards,

John

import FreeCAD,FreeCADGui
import Fem
import os, os.path

import PySide

inipath=FreeCAD.getHomePath()

try:

print (path)

grpVTK =FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.getObject('vtkResults')
if grpVTK==None:
	grpVTK = FreeCAD.ActiveDocument.addObject("App::DocumentObjectGroup",'vtkResults')

			ivtk_result_obj.touch()
			ivtk_result_obj.Mode=1

print ('Import results done.')

create a vtk pipeline and set modes:

Code: Select all

app_home = FreeCAD.ConfigGet("AppHomePath")
doc = FreeCAD.open(app_home + "data/examples/FemCalculixCantilever3D.FCStd")
doc.WarpVector.ViewObject.hide()
import ObjectsFem
vtkres = ObjectsFem.makePostVtkResult(doc, doc.CCX_Results)
doc.recompute()
vtkres.ViewObject.DisplayMode = 'Surface' 
vtkres.ViewObject.Field = 'Displacement'

get object properties:

Code: Select all

vtkres.PropertiesList
vtkres.ViewObject.PropertiesList

output:

Code: Select all

>>> 
>>> vtkres.PropertiesList
['Data', 'ExpressionEngine', 'Filter', 'Functions', 'Label', 'Label2', 'Mode', 'Placement', 'Visibility']
>>> vtkres.ViewObject.PropertiesList
['DisplayMode', 'Field', 'OnTopWhenSelected', 'SelectionStyle', 'ShowInTree', 'Transparency', 'VectorMode', 'Visibility']
>>> 
>>>

Code: Select all

vtkres.ViewObject.DisplayMode = 'Surface' 
vtkres.ViewObject.Field = 'Displacement'

Thanks. All good now.
