ThirdParty-6/ParaView-5.0.1/Wrapping/Python/paraview/smtrace.py

r"""smtrace module is used along with vtkSMTrace to generate Python trace for
ParaView. While this module is primarily designed to be used from the ParaView
GUI, Python scripts can use this module too to generate trace from the script
executed.

Typical usage is as follows::

    from paraview import smtrace
    config = smtracer.start_trace()

    # config is an instance of vtkSMTrace. One can setup properties on this
    # object to control  the generated trace. e.g.
    config.SetFullyTraceSupplementalProxies(True)

    # do the actions to trace.
        ...

    # stop trace. The generated trace is returned.
    txt = smtracer.stop_trace()


=========================
Developer Documentation
=========================

This section describes the module design for developers wanted to extend this
module or use this module for advance tracing/state generation.

The design can be described as follows:

C++ code (either in ServerManager or the GUI layer) should trace actions.
This is done using SM_SCOPED_TRACE() macro provided by vtkSMTrace. When tracing
is enabled, each SM_SCOPED_TRACE() call creates a :class:`.TraceItem`. The TraceItem
instance is scoped, i.e. the object is finalized and destroyed when the scope
exits.

There are various types of TraceItem, ranging from those that trace specific
action such as :class:`.Show`, or those that trace any modified properties
(:class:`.PropertiesModified`). Generic TraceItem types, such as
:class:`.CallMethod` and :class:`.CallFunction` can be used to trace methods
called on vtkObject instances or functions in the global namespace.

TraceItems create or use :class:`.Accessor` instances. Accessors are objects
created for Proxies and Properties in ParaView. Accessor knows how to access
that proxy or property in the Python trace. TraceItems that create new proxies
such as :class:`.RegisterPipelineProxy` and :class:`.RegisterViewProxy`, create
new :class:`.ProxyAccessor` instances. Other such as
:class:`.PropertiesModified` trace item rely on accessors already created.
:class:`.Trace` can provide access to already created accessor as well as create
new accessor for proxies create before the tracing began
(:method:`.Trace.get_accessor`).

Additionally, there are filters such as :class:`.ProxyFilter`,
:class:`.PipelineProxyFilter`, etc. which are used to filter properties that get
traced and where they get traced i.e. in contructor call or right after it.

===============================
Notes about references
===============================

RealProxyAccessor keeps a hard reference to the servermanager.Proxy instance.
This is required. If we don't, then the Python object for vtkSMProxy also gets
garbage collected since there's no reference to it.
