Sorry for the confusion.
So I ran this code on both versions of paraview (5.5.0 and 5.8.1):
paraview.compatibility.major = 5
paraview.compatibility.minor = 5
box = Box()
clip = Clip(Input=box, ClipType = 'Box')
clip.ClipType.Position= [0.0, 0.0, 0.0]
clip.ClipType.Bounds = [-1.,0.,-1.,1.,-1.,1.]
RenderView = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')
boxdisplay = GetDisplayProperties(clip, view=RenderView)
The code is supposed to make a zero centered unit cube and clip it on the yz axis.
The code works fine with paraview 5.5.0, I get the expected result, i.e half a box.
Whereas for paraview 5.8.1, the clip somehow cuts of a corner of the cube, which makes no sense to me, see the following screenshot
steps to reproduce
- open paraview gui
- click View > Python shell
- paste the code in the Python shell
- Press Enter
I am working on centos 8. I have paraview 5.5.0 (binaries) and paraview 5.8.1 (binaries). I load the different versions through a module management system.
Thanks for your help.
