Hi everyone,

Anybody knows the meaning of numbers inside the FrustumSelectionSource class when scripting ParaView using Python?

I guess there are vertex of bounding box of the mesh, but I cannot understand the order and the fourth component. It's to said:

FrustumSelectionSource( ContainingCells=0, InsideOut=0, FieldType='CELL', Frustum=[0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 1.0, 1.0, 0.0, 0.0] )

Does this mean that:

Vertex 1 of bounding box

x1=0
y1=0
z1=1

?¿?¿=0

Vertex2 of bounding box:

x2=0
y2=0
z2=0

?¿?¿?=0


Vertex3 of bounding box:

x3=0
y3=1
z3=1
?¿¿??=0


Vertex4 of bounding box:

x4=0
y4=1
z4=0
?¿¿??=0

What is the meaning of ?¿?¿

And which is the right order for the planes describing bounding box? For example, the one I described is left, right, top, bottom...or what?

I need to make a frustum selection and I know my slices (where I want to apply Extract selection filter) are in the yz plane. How can I do this in Python?

Thanks in advance
