[Paraview] Selecting a glyph object entirely and retrieving it's attribute data

[A .]

Dear community,


For a simulation I am running, I would like to visualize a bunch of spheres in ParaView (PV). At the moment I do that by sending point data to PV and creating a Glyph filter (Sphere type) on all the points, where the radius is determined by attribute data I pass along the point data.


Now for my project I would like the user to be able to select each sphere (i.e. Glyph object), such that it's attribute data can be displayed (like the Hover On functionality); and in the best case I would like to have this attribute data (such as radius) to be modifiable (for now I just a programmable filter in which the user manually fills in the ID of the sphere to change it's corresponding attribute data).


So my two questions are:

1) Can I select the Glyph as a whole? All the selection options will only select the cells of which the glyph is made of, not the actually sphere.

2) In the Python shell will I be able to see the selected (spheres /glyphs) in order to do some attribute data modifications?


Best,

Jimmy
