[Smtk-developers] CMB6

[David Thompson]

Hi all,

Attached is a super-fancy screenshot of some recent developments for cmb6 and smtk2:

+ "dock nesting" enabled in the main window, so that panels can be arranged side by side (this turned out to be a 1-liner);

+ multiple views with different representation settings (color-by, rep style) in each;

+ a post-processing button as a plugin... If the plugin is loaded, it creates the Filters and Sources menus, the pipeline inspector, and a toolbar button to turn them on/off. You can see that post-processing mode is on in the screenshot (look for the tooltip). In the future, it might be useful to automatically hide any pqPipelineSource objects in the inspector when leaving post-processing mode and show them again when re-entering;

+ clicking on a resource in the SMTK tree-view panel makes that pipeline-source active in ParaView, which updates the "Properties" panel so you can adjust display settings, change the filename, or click "Delete" to close the file. This is required for CMB6 to work without post-processing mode enabled as otherwise there's no way to change the active pipeline source (the "Pipeline Browser" panel isn't available outside of post-processing mode).

+ proper titles again for descriptive phrases that are lists (e.g., "13 groups (2-d faces)" in the screenshot) instead of a confusingly vague description;

+ you can't see it, but a set of XML tests that -- thanks to Ben -- pass and exercise a lot of the modelbuilder "viewer" functionality.
