[Paraview] Chart View Question

[Utkarsh Ayachit]

Brian,

Although ParaView does support defining default view type in XML,
currently it's only support for filters with 1 output port. Feel free
to add a feature request to the bug tracker and we can try to address
it soon.

I don't think I understand what you're trying to do here. Can you elaborate?
