[Paraview] Reader with Multiple Outputs

[Berk Geveci]

I think there are 2 major uses of multiple outputs:
1. Fixed number of outputs, each output with a specific purpose. For
example, a filter that clips a dataset producing inside as 1 output
and outside as another. This is best implemented as a multiple output
filter.
2. Variable number of outputs, each of a subset of a whole. This is
what multi-group (multi-block or AMR) is designed for. This is best
implemented as a 1 output reader/filter that produces multi-group.

ParaVIew supports 2. It does not support 1 well.
