[Paraview] [EXT] Re: Details of XML filter with lists of input arrays

[Dennis Conklin]

Utkarsh,

So, for the first example we have:

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

<InputProperty command="SetInputConnection"                     
name="Input">        
<ProxyGroupDomain name="groups">          
<Group name="sources" />          
<Group name="filters" />        
</ProxyGroupDomain>        
<DataTypeDomain name="input_type">          
<DataType value="vtkDataSet" />        
</DataTypeDomain>        
<InputArrayDomain attribute_type="cell"                          
name="input_array"                          
number_of_components="1" />        
</InputProperty>

I get that the InputTypeDomain links it to cell arrays! - thanks for that.

So, after the user chooses some variables, are the chosen variable names in "input_array"?
Or does "input_array"  contain True or False based on which he chose, in which case where are the corresponding names of the variables?

Thanks

Dennis

There are many filters you can base this on. Here are a few examples:

1. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.kitware.com%2Fparaview%2Fparaview%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2FParaViewCore%2FServerManager%2FSMApplication%2FResources%2Ffilters.xml%23L2026-2041&data=01%7C01%7Cdennis_conklin%40goodyear.com%7C2d092bbd37874ba5a79208d50a89a1b9%7C939e896692854a9a9f040887efe8aae0%7C0&sdata=QEPymOcagk%2B2VVfYRhBkt1ujub7DJqalAo9cA7YFX%2BU%3D&reserved=0

Here the arrays to list is determined by the "InputArrayDomain"
element defined on the InputProperty and fixed to cell data.

2. https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgitlab.kitware.com%2Fparaview%2Fparaview%2Fblob%2Fmaster%2FParaViewCore%2FServerManager%2FSMApplication%2FResources%2Ffilters.xml%23L13865-13881&data=01%7C01%7Cdennis_conklin%40goodyear.com%7C2d092bbd37874ba5a79208d50a89a1b9%7C939e896692854a9a9f040887efe8aae0%7C0&sdata=YLFBNug7u6HJZo87izm6muSvpMJCzKaFDIYnwcBAp%2B8%3D&reserved=0

Here the user can separately select which attribute he/she is interested in using a separate "AttributeMode" property.
