[Paraview-developers] Is there a "no view" hint for filters?

[Cory Quammen]

Cornelis,

That's not explicitly as far as I know, but what happens if you try
setting the view to "none"? My guess would be that you get a new view
with whatever your default view type happens to be (usually
RenderView).

Best,
Cory
