[Paraview] accessing additional options on PV filter

[Dan Lussier]

Hi,

I wanted to use some of the unexposed options in the Connectivity
filter (i.e. the extraction mode):

http://paraview.org/OnlineHelpCurrent/PVConnectivityFilter.html

What is the best way to make this happen?

1 - Python Programmable Filter ?  I gave this a try, but was not able
to get it working all as I was not sure about how to pass data in and
out of the filter.

2 - Python Shell ? What would be the advantage of going this route?

I am open to suggestions - and if someone more familiar with using
Python in Paraview and found the examples from the Programmable Filter
tough to use, so a simple minimal example would be great of either
approach would be great.

Thanks.
