How to use numpy in the Programmable Filter in ParaView

问题

Assume, I have a ProgrammableFilter in paraview, which gets two inputs: mesh1 with data and mesh2 without. Furthermore, I know the permutation of the points from mesh1 to mesh2. Inside the filter, I can access the point values through

data0=inputs[0].GetPointData().GetArray('data')`

and obtain a part of the array using

subData=data0[0:6]

for example. But how could I add this subData to the output without a python loop?

To experiment with the code, I created a (not so small) working example:

#!/usr/bin/python
from paraview.simple import *
import numpy as np
import vtk
from vtk.util.numpy_support import numpy_to_vtk

#generate an arbitrary source with data
mesh2=Sphere()
mesh2.Center=[0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
mesh2.EndPhi=360
mesh2.EndTheta=360
mesh2.PhiResolution=100
mesh2.Radius=1.0
mesh2.StartPhi=0.0
mesh2.StartTheta=0.0
mesh2.ThetaResolution=100
mesh2.UpdatePipeline()

#add the data
mesh2Vtk=servermanager.Fetch(mesh2)
nPointsSphere=mesh2Vtk.GetNumberOfPoints()
mesh2Data=paraview.vtk.vtkFloatArray()
mesh2Data.SetNumberOfValues(nPointsSphere)
mesh2Data.SetName("mesh2Data")
#TODO: use numpy here?? do this with a ProgrammableFilter ?
data=np.random.rand(nPointsSphere,1)
for k in range(nPointsSphere):
  mesh2Data.SetValue(k, data[k])
mesh2Vtk.GetPointData().AddArray(mesh2Data)

#send back to paraview server
#from https://public.kitware.com/pipermail/paraview/2011-February/020120.html
t=TrivialProducer()
filter= t.GetClientSideObject()
filter.SetOutput(mesh2Vtk)
t.UpdatePipeline()
w=CreateWriter('Sphere_withData.vtp')
w.UpdatePipeline()
Delete(w)

#create mesh1 without data
mesh1=Line()
mesh1.Point1=[0,0,0]
mesh1.Point2=[0,0,1]
mesh1.Resolution=5
mesh1.UpdatePipeline()

progFilter=ProgrammableFilter(mesh1)
progFilter.Input=[mesh1, t]
progFilter.Script="curT=inputs[1].GetPointData().GetArray('mesh2Data')"\
  "\nglobIndices=range(0,6)"\
  "\nsubT=curT[globIndices]"\
  "\nswap=vtk.vtkFloatArray()"\
  "\nswap.SetNumberOfValues(len(globIndices))"\
  "\nswap.SetName('T')"\
  "\n#TODO: how can i avoid this loop, i.e. write output.GetPointData().AddArray(converToVTK(subT))"\
  "\nfor k in range(len(globIndices)):"\
  "\n  swap.SetValue(k,subT[k])"\
  "\noutput.PointData.AddArray(swap)"
progFilter.UpdatePipeline()
w=CreateWriter('Line_withData.vtp')
w.UpdatePipeline()
Delete(w)

I accepted the answer, because it looks right. The following two scripts even show the problem: base script 'run.py':

src1='file1.vtu'
r1=XMLUnstructuredGridReader(FileName=src1)

progFilter=ProgrammableFilter(r1)
progFilter.Input=[r1]
with open('script.py','r') as myFile:
  progFilter.Script=myFile.read()
progFilter.UpdatePipeline()
progData=progFilter.GetPointDataInformation()
print progData.GetArray('T2').GetRange()

and the script for the programmable filter:

import vtk
import vtk.numpy_interface.dataset_adapter as dsa
import numpy as np
globIndices=inputs[0].GetPointData().GetArray('T')
subT=np.ones((globIndices.shape[0],1))
subTVtk=dsa.VTKArray(subT)
output.PointData.append(subTVtk, 'T2')

With this combination, I get the error messages:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/vtk/numpy_interface/dataset_adapter.py", line 652, in append self.VTKObject.AddArray(arr)

TypeError: AddArray argument 1: method requires a VTK object
File "run.py", line 15, in
```
print progData.GetArray('T2').GetRange()
```
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'GetRange'

The first error message stems seems to be the reason for the second one.

回答1:

Here's a minimal example that creates a VTK data array from a Numpy array. You should be able to adapt it for your purposes.

import numpy as np
import vtk
from vtk.numpy_interface import dataset_adapter as da

np_arr = np.ones(6)
vtk_arr = da.VTKArray(np_arr)
output.PointData.append(vtk_arr, "my data")
