Paraview create line segments from CSV with "width" data

Question

I want to create line segments in Paraview. The format of my input data for each line segment is as: x0,y0,z0,x1,y1,z1,width I have tried using "Line" command like:

    for i in range(600):
      l = Line(Point1=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0),Point2=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0))

But, I can't find a way to specify the width to each line segment. Your help will be much appreciated. Best Regards, Hamid Rajabi.

The Line object does not know about the width. It is only a list of connected points. The width is a parameter of the representation. You can try something like that:

# get active view
renderView1 = GetActiveViewOrCreate('RenderView')

for i in range(600):
  l = Line(Point1=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0),Point2=(uniform(0,100),uniform(0,100),0))
  # get display properties
  line1Display = GetDisplayProperties(l, view=renderView1)

  # Properties modified on line1Display
  line1Display.LineWidth = 4.0
