When I export Catalyst scripts, I get file names of the like
pNG1.Writer.FileName = ‘RenderView1\_{timestep:06d}\_{camera}.png’
What does {camera} stand for and which node in Conduit should I fill for this field to be replaced by ParaView Catalyst?
Thanks,
Alexandre

It is used in the `Phi-Theta` `Camera Mode` where several PNG’s are create for each timestep. So `phi` and `theta` parameters are used in the filename
