Hi. I would like to know where is the code describing the implementation of the Triangulate method, which is imported together with paraview.simple.
On this path:
[https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/\_modules/paraview/simple.html](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/python/_modules/paraview/simple.html)
I have not found such a description.
Could you please tell me where this description is stored?

The `Triangulate` that becomes available when importing `paraview.simple` corresponds to the proxy defined [here](https://gitlab.kitware.com/paraview/paraview/-/blob/master/Remoting/Application/Resources/filters_filterscore.xml#L2143) which as you see corresponds to the VTK class `vtkTriangulateFilter`. Documentation for this class can be found at [VTK: vtkTriangleFilter Class Reference](https://vtk.org/doc/nightly/html/classvtkTriangleFilter.html)
