number_time_points

The total number of available time steps on the underlying reader, when it is time-aware (for example, PVDReader).

Proxies TimeReader.number_time_points. Returns None if the reader is not time-aware.

Type

• int | None

Example

from pyemsi import Plotter, examples

file_path = examples.transient_path()
p = Plotter(file_path)
p.set_scalar("B-Mag (T)")
p.set_block_visibility("4", False)

print(p.number_time_points)  # 10

# Iterate over all time steps
for i in range(p.number_time_points):
    p.set_active_time_point(i)
    p.export(f"frame_{i:02d}.png")
