You can pass a list of strings to SelectorList, Selector, etc.  A common
approach is to read metadata, generate the list, populate the interactor,
which the user then uses to make choices.  This could be done dynamically
(i.e., the use chooses a data set first and changes it while interacting).
When you save the network, the last list will be saved.

Subject:    [opendx-users] Creating a selector list



I have a DX network which plots, among other items, a geometry model which
consists of an XYZ data set with connection dependent values for each cell.
Those values can be thought of as material assignments for each cell in the
model.

I construct tje geometry plots using the ShowBoundary module followed by
Color using a color map which assigns colors to each 'material'.  I also
use
an IntegerList module in conjunction with an Include module to choose which
materials should be included in or excluded from the plot.  (This step
precedes the ShowBoundary and Color modules.)

At the present time, I construct the IntegerList 'manually' based on what I
know about the geometry model.
I would like to improve this process in the following way:

1)  I'd like to 'query' the geometry data file (which contains the material
assignment by cell) and
     generate a list of all the composition numbers that are used.
2)  Rather than construct the IntegerList manually, I'd like to use the
information from Step 1 to
     automatically create a SelectorList so that I can toggle materials on
or off.

This is probably a trivial issue for many DX users, but I'm afraid I've
tended to focus on the computational aspects of my network and less on the
'user interface' area.

Thanks in advance for any help.
