[Quick question] Screenshot from command

[Maxime Fromentin]

Hello, is it possible to take a screenshot of the results (displacements for example) and not just the geometry with the command : >>> pyNastranGUI solid_bending.bdf solid_bending.op2 --postscript take_picture.py

  The easiest way to do it is to flip to the specific result that you're interested in before taking a picture. The log tells you what case you selected:

>>> self.cycle_results(case=20)

You can also access the results directly to loop over the ones you want. It's not the cleanest:

for icase, (obj, res_name) in self.result_cases.items():

    node_centroid = obj.get_location(*res_name)

    class_name = obj.__class__.__name__

    if class_name == 'DisplacementResults2': # ForceResults2

        print(' disp')

        print(obj)

        self.cycle_results(icase)

        break

    continue

The sidebar stuff is a bit fancier and doesn't have a clean API. It's very focused on using the GUI. In that case, you'd call the set_sidebar_args method and then cycle the results. That's going to be slightly different per result.
