There isn't an in built mechanism for that. The python programmable filter runs on the server, so it can not control other filters along the pipeline (although it can set up internal filters if you are familiar with programming at the vtk level).
You best bet may be to use a python macro, which is the same thing really as python trace or the python shell, ie client side python scripting. From there you can control properties of filters up and down the pipeline. Another tool that might be useful are custom filters. Custome filters are really canned pipeline segments. Ie construct pipeline a->b->c and then condense all of that into custom filter Z so that you can reuse the set whenever you like. You can choose any, all or none of the properties on filters a,b,c to expose in your new filter Z. David E DeMarle Kitware, Inc.
