I saved a property file(0.vp), I want to use this property file torender the volume through the script, how to achieve, the following is the code I can complete.

```auto
     volumeNode=getNode("CTChest")
     volRenLogic = slicer.modules.volumerendering.logic()
     volRenLogic.AddVolumePropertyFromFile(r"C:\Users\Administrator\Desktop\0.vp")

     propertyNode=getNode("0")

     displayNode = volRenLogic.CreateDefaultVolumeRenderingNodes(volumeNode)
     displayNode.SetVisibility(True)

```

```auto
         volRenLogic = slicer.modules.volumerendering.logic()
         volRenLogic.AddVolumePropertyFromFile(self.resourcePath('chestPre.vp'))
         volRenLogic.AddPreset(slicer.util.getNode("chestPre"))
        
         volumeNode=self.ui.imgSelector.currentNode()
         displayNode = volRenLogic.CreateDefaultVolumeRenderingNodes(volumeNode)
        
         displayNode.GetVolumePropertyNode().Copy(slicer.util.getNode("chestPre"))
         displayNode.SetVisibility(True)

```

the codes need to add the vp file as a preset, this is not what I want.
