correction, Dave D. just pointed out to me that since PV 4.0 the shallow
copy is no longer needed because of the VTK 6.0 pipeline improvements.

By the way, the example following that is buggy as well, when you
apply an internal filter you first need to shallow copy the input.
I fixed both of these, although I think these examples(ones in
Examples section) are not great ones in the first place and don't add
much to the already pretty comprehensive examples preceding them, I
would vote to remove them. However, I'll leave this up to the real pv
developers....

Programmable Filter
=============================

output =self.GetPolyDataOutput();
colors = vtk.vtkUnsignedCharArray();
colors.SetNumberOfComponents(3);
colors.SetName("Colors");
numPoints =input.GetNumberOfPoints()
for iin range(0, numPoints):

output.GetPointData().AddArray(colors)
===============================
Not sure how this got on the wiki but this is an example of what
*not* to do!!
In a VTK filter one's never supposed to modify the input.
output=input
output.GetPointData().AddArray(colors)
This is exactly what's done here. Of course you're not going to find
the array in the filter's output if you're adding it to the input!
This code can be fixed by removing the output=input line. With that
change you should be able to see the array in downstream filters.
note, in python 2 range actually generates a list with all the values
in it, while xrange creates an iterator which is far more efficient.
To actually use the colors you'll also have to uncheck the map
scalars check box in the display properties.
input = self.GetPolyDataInput();
output = self.GetPolyDataOutput();
colors = vtk.vtkUnsignedCharArray();
colors.SetNumberOfComponents(3);
colors.SetName("Colors");
numPoints = input.GetNumberOfPoints()
for i in xrange(0, numPoints):
colors.InsertNextTuple3(0,255,0);
output.GetPointData().AddArray(colors)
del colors

Hello,
After staring at
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Python_Programmable_Filter for a while,
the way to access the data for a specific variable name still eludes
me. This is the python code from the wiki on Add the Colors variable
to a PolyData
=============================
input =self.GetPolyDataInput();
output =self.GetPolyDataOutput();
colors = vtk.vtkUnsignedCharArray();
colors.SetNumberOfComponents(3);
colors.SetName("Colors");
numPoints =input.GetNumberOfPoints()
for iin range(0, numPoints):
colors.InsertNextTuple3(255,0,0);
output=input
output.GetPointData().AddArray(colors)
===============================
How do I from the next filter, access the variable name "Colors"
that I created?
Any help is much appreciated.
thanks
