Automatically updates #524

Closed hbadi closed 2 years ago

hbadi commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Is there a way to automatically make an update when vtk/vtu files change ?

Thanks for helping.

No, there is not

You would have to do some sort of polling on the mtime of the file and then have a custom call back to rerun your workflow. This is way out of scope for PyVista.

I will say that if you need to do this, you could use VTK directly as its pipeline model is built for this. But PyVista abandoned the pipeline model in favor of chaining to be more "Pythonic"
