Setting a specific timestep

[jdeyton]

Is it possible to set a specific timestep through the VisIt Java client?

My impression from the earlier meeting is that it may be possible to send either RPC or python commands. Which type of command does ViewerMethods.processCommands(String commands) support? The RPC calls or python methods?

However, after looking at it again, I'm still unsure of the structure for the arguments. Can I send multiple commands at once, and, if so, how do I pass in multiple lines? This method just makes the input argument into a JsonPrimitive string. Do I need to include newlines between each command in the string?

For setting a timestep, would I just pass in the string "SetTimeSliderState(3)" for the third timestep?

I think the easiest way is to look at how the Python Console uses it. That should give you a really easy way of how the process commands are used. Effectively it reads in a list of valid Python commands and executes them in an iterative way.

EAVP was able to easily set specific time steps using the Python scripting, so this issue can be closed.
