Hi, I am trying to create multiple views using PyPython. Is there any documentation for Python in Paraview, especially for function CreateView? I read about this function in tutorial: [https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/6/6e/ParaViewTutorial54.pdf](https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/images/6/6e/ParaViewTutorial54.pdf), but it there is not description for parameters such ViewSize and StereoType. Can you advice me documentation of full description?

Python documentation is available here: [https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/)
Here is [documentation](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/paraview.simple.html?highlight=createview#paraview.simple.CreateView) for `paraview.simple.CreateView` specifically.

Hi, I also want to create multiple views, I saw the documentation here: [https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/paraview.simple.html?highlight=createview#paraview.simple.CreateView](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/paraview.simple.html?highlight=createview#paraview.simple.CreateView).
Here is the citation: “paraview.simple.CreateView` (view\_xml\_name, detachedFromLayout=None, \*\*\*params)”. It is not sufficient for me, thete is not decription of parameters. I cannot create views with some specific position. This is my problem.
Here is an example:
```
# state file generated using paraview version 4.3.1
from paraview.simple import *
# Create a new 'Render View'
renderView1 = CreateView('RenderView')
renderView1.ViewSize = [100, 200]
renderView1.StereoType = 0
renderView1.Background = [0, 1, 1]
layout1.SplitVertical(1, 0.5)
# Create a new 'Render View'
renderView2 = CreateView('RenderView')
...
layout1.SplitHorizontal(1, 0.5)
# Create a new 'Render View'
renderView3 = CreateView('RenderView')
...
```
Where can I find description of ViewSize, StereoType, SplitVertical and SplitHorizontal parameters? How to use them in order to create views in some specific positions and sizes?
