<p><u></u><span>2.<span style="font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;font-weight:normal;font-stretch:normal;font-size:7pt;line-height:normal;font-family:'Times New Roman'">
</span></span><u></u>Have we added any other capability. For instance, I would love to present a list of variables to be calculated and let my user select or unselect each to decide exactly what he wants as output. With a numeric field with 0 as unselect
and 1 as select, people will always manage to type something else in there. If this interface could have a checklist, or if fields could have a drop down list (Yes/No, etc) then this would greatly expand the utility of this technique.</p></div></div></blockquote><div>You can do this if you have a fixed number of variables. Just list each variable option as a IntVectorProperty with a BooleanDomain in the XML. In the input file for the filter generator, just express these options with the default values, .e.g,</div><div><br></div><div><pre style="padding:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:justify;line-height:12.1875px">Properties <span style="padding:0px;margin:0px">=</span> <span style="padding:0px;margin:0px;color:rgb(0,112,32)">dict</span>(</pre><pre style="padding:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:justify;line-height:12.1875px"> generate_var1 = True,</pre><pre style="padding:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:justify;line-height:12.1875px"> generate_var2 = False,</pre><pre style="padding:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:justify;line-height:12.1875px"> generate_var3 = False</pre><pre style="padding:0px;margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px;color:rgb(51,51,51);text-align:justify;line-height:12.1875px"> )</pre></div><div><br></div><div>The filter generator will convert each of these lines into XML of the following form:</div><div><br></div><div><div> <IntVectorProperty</div><div> name="generate_var1"</div><div> label="generate var1"</div><div> initial_string="generate_var1"</div><div> command="SetParameter"</div><div> animateable="1"</div><div> default_values="1"</div><div> number_of_elements="1"></div><div> <BooleanDomain name="bool" /></div><div> <Documentation></Documentation></div><div> </IntVectorProperty></div></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>These properties will appear as checkboxes in the UI of your filter.</div><div><br></div><div>Of course, you can tweak the XML files that are generated if it doesn't get the label attribute for the property right, for instance.</div><div><br></div><div>I hope that helps.</div><div>Cory</div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left-width:1px;border-left-color:rgb(204,204,204);border-left-style:solid;padding-left:1ex"><div lang="EN-US" link="#0563C1" vlink="#954F72"><div>
<p class="MsoNormal">So, is anyone using this and perhaps knows how to do these extended things?<u></u><u></u></p>
