[Paraview-developers] Custom plugin drop down list

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Dan,

If I understand your use-case correctly, what you can do is a combination
of StringListDomain with an info property that returns the available
options e.g.

      <StringVectorProperty command="GetAllDimensions"
                            information_only="1"
                            name="DimensionInfo">
        <StringArrayHelper />
      </StringVectorProperty>
      <StringVectorProperty animatelable="0"
                            command="SetDimensions"
                            name="Dimensions"
                            number_of_elements="1"
                            panel_visibility="default">
        <StringListDomain name="array_list">
          <RequiredProperties>
            <Property function="ArrayList"
                      name="DimensionInfo" />
          </RequiredProperties>
        </StringListDomain>
        <Documentation>Load the grid with the given dimensions. Any arrays that
        conform to these dimensions will be loaded.</Documentation>
      </StringVectorProperty>


Hope that helps,
Utkarsh
