step_backward

anim_flipbook.step_backward() → int

Step back/forward one frame of a flipbook.

This command is not generated by the EnSight GUI, but is intended for use with batch or context operations where the time of the first step could vary from model to model.

Examples:

#
# Note: transient dataset w/83 time steps...
#
# Specify a transient_data flipbook 
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load_type("transient_data")
#
# Specify page increment
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.step_by(1.0000e+01)
#
# Set begin/end flipbook time info
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.begin_time_step(0)
ensight.anim_flipbook.end_time_step(83)
ensight.anim_flipbook.specify_time_as("step")
#
# Load flipbook pages {0,10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80}
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.load()
#
# Run loaded flipbook
#
ensight.anim_flipbook.play_backward()
ensight.anim_flipbook.stop()
ensight.anim_flipbook.step_backward()
