Data Descriptors
----------------


   
   Capping
       The value of this property indicates whether to cap the
       ends of the swept surface. Capping works by placing a copy of the input
       dataset on either end of the swept surface, so it behaves properly if
       the input is a 2D surface composed of filled polygons. If the input
       dataset is a closed solid (e.g., a sphere), then if capping is on
       (i.e., this property is set to 1), two copies of the data set will be
       displayed on output (the second translated from the first one along the
       specified vector). If instead capping is off (i.e., this property is
       set to 0), then an input closed solid will produce no
       output.
   
   Input
       This property specifies the input to the Linear
       Extrusion filter.
   
   PieceInvariant
       The value of this property determines whether the output
       will be the same regardless of the number of processors used to compute
       the result. The difference is whether there are internal polygonal
       faces on the processor boundaries. A value of 1 will keep the results
       the same; a value of 0 will allow internal faces on processor
       boundaries.
   
   ScaleFactor
       The value of this property determines the distance along
       the vector the dataset will be translated. (A scale factor of 0.5 will
       move the dataset half the length of the vector, and a scale factor of 2
       will move it twice the vector's length.)
   
   Vector
       The value of this property indicates the X, Y, and Z
       components of the vector along which to sweep the input
       dataset.

Methods inherited from SourceProxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   FileNameChanged(self)
       Called when the filename of a source proxy is changed.
   
   GetCellDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetDataInformation(self, idx=None)
       This method returns a DataInformation wrapper around a
       vtkPVDataInformation
   
   GetFieldDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated cell data information.
   
   GetPointDataInformation(self)
       Returns the associated point data information.
   
   UpdatePipeline(self, time=None)
       This method updates the server-side VTK pipeline and the associated
       data information. Make sure to update a source to validate the output
       meta-data.
   
   UpdatePipelineInformation(self)
       This method updates the meta-data of the server-side VTK pipeline and
       the associated information properties
   
   __getitem__(self, idx)
       Given a slice, int or string, returns the corresponding
       output port
   
   

Methods inherited from Proxy
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


   
   GetProperty(self, name)
       Given a property name, returns the property object.
   
   GetPropertyValue(self, name)
       Returns a scalar for properties with 1 elements, the property
       itself for vectors.
   
   InitializeFromProxy(self, aProxy, update=True)
       Constructor. Assigns proxy to self.SMProxy, updates the server
       object as well as register the proxy in _pyproxies dictionary.
   
   ListProperties(self)
       Returns a list of all property names on this proxy.
   
   SetPropertyWithName(self, pname, arg)
       Generic method for setting the value of a property.
   
   __del__(self)
       Destructor. Cleans up all observers as well as remove
       the proxy from the _pyproxies dictionary
   
   __eq__(self, other)
       Returns true if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __getattr__(self, name)
       With the exception of a few overloaded methods,
       returns the SMProxy method
   
   __init__(self, \*\*args)
       Default constructor. It can be used to initialize properties
       by passing keyword arguments where the key is the name of the
       property. In addition registrationGroup and registrationName (optional)
       can be specified (as keyword arguments) to automatically register
       the proxy with the proxy manager.
   
   __iter__(self)
       Creates an iterator for the properties.
   
   __ne__(self, other)
       Returns false if the underlying SMProxies are the same.
   
   __setattr__(self, name, value)
   
   add_attribute(self, name, value)
