Making movies with many plot states from the command line #295
-
|
I generally make my animations from the command line, as visit -movie -format png -sessionfile -output blah, and some other options. I am noting that the files that are output are of the format "blah%4d.png", which may be problematic for databases with more than 10,000 plot states. Is there a way to modify the output file name format from the command like? I searched the help docs and couldn't find any such thing . . . Thanks. |

The number of digits is hard wired at 4 digits. I'll take a look at enhancing the script to just use the correct number of digits based on the number of files needed to create the movie (maybe with a minimum of 4, so as not to change the existing behavior, except when necessary). |

@brugger1 apologies for not seeing this. It looks like you've answered. But, this was in Silo's repo and I think appropriate place is VisIt's repo, right? If so, unfortunately, there is no easy way to migrate this discussion. GitHub supports migrations only within an organization and not across them. @nDimensionalSpace just a reminder to take care to post issues with VisIt and its supporting tools to VisIt's discussions. This is for issues with Silo 😉. |

😬 Sorry about that . . . I will be more cognizant in the future. |
