[Paraview] Filter with variable outputs as plugin

[Lodron, Gerald]

But here i need to know it at compiletime. The ouputs name is in my file name which differs from input file to input file…

e.g. I want to load a file

myfile.myformat

which has a polydata “SomeString” and a polydata “someOtherString” in it.

When my reader applys, there should be 2 outputs with 2 vtkPolyDatas with those strings, is that possible?

Hi Gerald,
To give a name to the different ports of your filter in ParaView, you need to add some "OutputPort" hints to the definition of your filter's proxy.
<SourceProxy class="..." ...>
...
  <Hints>
    <OutputPort index="0" name="My Output 0"/>
    <OutputPort index="1" name="My Output 1"/>
    <OutputPort index="2" name="My Output 2"/>
     ...
  </Hint>
</SourceProxy>
Best,
Joachim

Hi

I am programming a vtk Polydata source on my own. The source is reading a proprietary file which consists of very simple 0 to N polygonal objects with a string identifier. My question is: Where do I specify the number of outputs (RequestInformation?) and where can I tell paraview the string identifier of the polygonal data (when I set number of outputs to 10 in filters constructor I get “Output-0” string in paraview’s pipeline browser, I want to specify that string on my own)!

Thanks for help…
