[vtkusers] Some things cannot be saved as VTP?

You could write your own tool in C++ or python. The main part (in 
python) is:


#!/usr/bin/env python

import os,sys,string


from libvtkCommonPython import *
from libvtkRenderingPython import *
from libvtkGraphicsPython import *
from libvtkIOPython import *
from libvtkFilteringPython import *
from libvtkWidgetsPython import *
from libvtkImagingPython import *


reader = vtkPolyDataReader()
reader.SetFileName(fname)

fillholes = vtkFillHolesFilter()
fillholes.SetInputConnection(reader.GetOutputPort())
fillholes.SetHoleSize(1.e6)

writer = vtkPolyDataWriter()
writer.SetInputConnection(fillholes.GetOutputPort())
writer.SetFileName(output )
writer.Update()



You could, however, use the Python Programmable filter in Paraview.
Copy the vtkFillHolesFilter section (python code above) into the text 
field ...
