David,

Will the following work?


Array1.Setname("array1");
myUnstructuredGrid.AddArray(Array1);

Array2.Setname("array2");
myUnstructuredGrid.AddArray(Array2);


Thresholdfilter.SetInput(myUnstructuredGrid);

//Viewport 1
==============

arrayname = "array1";
Thresholdfilter->SetInputArrayToProcess(0, 0, 0,
vtkDataObject::FIELD_ASSOCIATION_CELLS, arrayname );
//Set Mapper1 and Actor1 etc.
Viewport1 -> Render();

//Viewport 2
===========
arrayname = "array2";
Thresholdfilter->SetInputArrayToProcess(1, 0, 0,
vtkDataObject::FIELD_ASSOCIATION_CELLS, arrayname );
//Set Mapper2 and Actor2 etc.
Viewport2 -> Render();


Thanks,
Bhanu
