[Paraview] [EXTERNAL] Re: Transforming vs transform filter

[Scott, W Alan]

Elaborate.  Why would changing names create backwards compatibility issues?  You mean for Python scripts?

Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [Paraview] Transforming vs transform filter

I am going to say it's just historical. Maybe since filtering is an action, "Transform" filter went with action verbs while since the Display properties (on the Properties tab) are the state of the item, they went with noun forms -- but that's just a guess.

While I have no objection changing one or the other or both,  we should not forget to weight the cost of changing these to the backwards compatibility issues they will introduce.

Why are the Properties tab/ Transforming controls and the Transform filter different?

The Properties Tab/ Transforming looks like this:

•         Translation

•         Scale

•         Orientation

•         Origin

The Transform filter looks like this:

•         Translate

•         Rotate

•         Scale

Thanks,

Alan
