r"""servermanager is a module for using paraview server manager in Python.
One can always use the server manager API directly. However, this module
provides an interface easier to use from Python by wrapping several VTK
classes around Python classes.

Note that, upon load, this module will create several sub-modules: sources,
filters and rendering. These modules can be used to instantiate specific
proxy types. For a list, try "dir(servermanager.sources)"

Usually users should use the paraview.simple module instead as it provide a
more user friendly API.

A simple example::

  from paraview.servermanager import *

  # Creates a new built-in session and makes it the active session.
  Connect()

  # Creates a new render view on the active session.
  renModule = CreateRenderView()

  # Create a new sphere proxy on the active session and register it
  # in the sources group.
  sphere = sources.SphereSource(registrationGroup="sources", ThetaResolution=16, PhiResolution=32)

  # Create a representation for the sphere proxy and adds it to the render
  # module.
  display = CreateRepresentation(sphere, renModule)

  renModule.StillRender()

    one or more server manager objects. It also provides an interface
    to set and get the properties of the server side objects. These
    properties are presented as Python properties. For example,
    you can set a property Foo using the following::

       proxy.Foo = (1,2)

    or

       proxy.Foo.SetData((1,2))

    or

       proxy.Foo[0:2] = (1,2)

    For more information, see the documentation of the property which
    you can obtain with
    help(proxy.Foo).

    This class also provides an iterator which can be used to iterate
    over all properties.
    eg::

        proxy = Proxy(proxy=smproxy)
        for property in proxy:
            print property


    For advanced users:
    This is a python class that wraps a vtkSMProxy.. Makes it easier to
    set/get properties.
    Instead of::

        proxy.GetProperty("Foo").SetElement(0, 1)
        proxy.GetProperty("Foo").SetElement(0, 2)

    you can do::

        proxy.Foo = (1,2)

    or

        proxy.Foo.SetData((1,2))

    or

        proxy.Foo[0:2] = (1,2)

    Instead of::

        proxy.GetProperty("Foo").GetElement(0)

    you can do::

        proxy.Foo.GetData()[0]

    or

        proxy.Foo[0]

    For proxy properties, you can use append:
     proxy.GetProperty("Bar").AddProxy(foo)
    you can do:
     proxy.Bar.append(foo)
    Properties support most of the list API. See VectorProperty and
    ProxyProperty documentation for details.

    Please note that some of the methods accessible through the Proxy
    class are not listed by help() because the Proxy objects forward
    unresolved attributes to the underlying object. To get the full list,
    see also dir(proxy.SMProxy). See also the doxygen based documentation
    of the vtkSMProxy C++ class.

    registering proxies with the proxy manager is the only mechanism to
    notify the graphical user interface (GUI) that a proxy

    the user interface. Also, the proxy manager is the only way to get
    access to proxies created using the GUI. Proxies created using the GUI
    are automatically registered under an appropriate group (sources,
    filters, representations and views). To get access to these objects,
    you can use proxyManager.GetProxy(group, name). The name is the same
    as the name shown in the pipeline browser.

    This class is a python wrapper for vtkSMProxyManager. Note that the
    underlying vtkSMProxyManager is a singleton. All instances of this
    class will refer to the same object. In addition to all methods provided by
    vtkSMProxyManager (all unknown attribute requests are forwarded
    to the vtkSMProxyManager), this class provides several convenience
    methods.

    Please note that some of the methods accessible through the ProxyManager
    class are not listed by help() because the ProxyManager objects forwards
    unresolved attributes to the underlying object. To get the full list,
    see also dir(proxy.SMProxyManager). See also the doxygen based documentation

    You can use Fetch to do three things:

    If arg1 is None (the default) then all of the data is brought to the client.
    In parallel runs an appropriate append Filter merges the
    data on each processor into one data object. The filter chosen will be
    vtkAppendPolyData for vtkPolyData, vtkAppendRectilinearGrid for
    vtkRectilinearGrid, vtkMultiBlockDataGroupFilter for vtkCompositeData,
    and vtkAppendFilter for anything else.

    If arg1 is an integer then one particular processor's output is brought to
    the client. In serial runs the arg is ignored. If you have a filter that
    computes results in parallel and brings them to the root node, then set
    arg to be 0.

    If arg1 and arg2 are a algorithms, for example vtkMinMax, the algorithm
    will be applied to the data to obtain some result. Here arg1 will be
    applied pre-gather and arg2 will be applied post-gather. In parallel
    runs the algorithm will be run on each processor to make intermediate
    results and then again on the root processor over all of the
    intermediate results to create a global result.
