ParaView is a pipeline-based framework: user loads in data and then applies a bunch of filters forming a pipeline to further process and then possibly render or save the result. Often times users find themselves applying the same set of filters with some minor parameter tweaks for a few filters in the pipeline to different datasets. With what we call custom filters, it's possible for the user to combine the pipeline into a single filter while exposing a set a properties from the internal filters that need tweaking. Additionally, the user can then share his custom filter's with other users.

This document describes how to create and use custom filters.

Surface Streamlines

One very commonly asked question on the mailing list is how to create surface streamlines. The pipeline for that looks like this:


This is a graph with borders and nodes. Maybe there is an Imagemap used so the nodes may be linking to some Pages.
