I generated a trace to get Q-criterion. When I run this script in python shell within the Paraview, it works fine. But when I run in terminal either using pvpython or pvbatch, I get the following error
```auto
AttributeError: type object 'GeometryRepresentation' has no attribute 'InputVectors'
```
Here is the script

Do you have a plugin loaded ? In any case, InputVectors does not exist on the SurfaceRepresentation, just remove the lines.

Thanks for the reply. If I delete that line, it works! Thanks.
Which Plugin I should load in case if I want to make it work that line.?

Hard to say, you would need to take a look into Tools → Manage Plugin

It needs the full path, something like:
```auto
LoadPlugin('/home/glow/dev/paraview/pv1/build/lib/paraview-5.11/plugins/StreamLinesRepresentation/StreamLinesRepresentation.so', remote=False, ns=globals())
```
Use your own path inside instead.
