Python access to servermanager GeneralSettings and RenderView settings

jfavre · February 28, 2019, 6:47pm

I have been using different python commands to set/get values of GeneralSettings in my python codes.
settings = servermanager.vtkPVGeneralSettings()
settings.Set…()

and I now would like to do the same with some RenderView settings. Yet, I cannot find in which python object they would be stored.

They’re defined similarly in ParaViewCore/ServerManager/Default/settings.xml but I don’t know how to gain access to them from the servermanager base object.

Can someone provide an example of setting a Render View setting (not from the GetRenderView()) object (I know how to do that), but I’d like to set/get other parameters to override those defined in $HOME/.config/ParaView/ParaView*.ini

    renderingSettings.LODThreshold = _VisualizerServer.settingsLODThreshold
