Wow! Thousands of objects in your pipeline browser? You must have some scripts 
to generate all those objects (or spend hours each time setting up your 
pipelines).

There is no way in to get the pipeline browser to group sections of the 
pipeline or show subsections of it. It is conceivable to create your own 
version of a pipeline browser that showed subsets of the pipeline like you want 
and put that in your own plugin, but it would be a fairly difficult programming 
project.

You might consider simpler alternatives. Rather than create thousands of 
objects in your pipeline browser, perhaps you can create custom filters that 
encapsulate (and hide) lots of filters inside it. Implementing filters in 
VTK/ParaView using several other filters internally is pretty common. It is 
much easier to create a plugin with a custom filter than to make a plugin with 
a custom pipeline browser. You could also consider using the Custom Filter 
feature (http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Custom_Filters). It allows you 
to create a metafilter from a collection of other filters in the ParaView GUI. 
It is easier than making a plugin, but has more limited functionality.

If I'm working in multiple layouts my pipeline browser becomes a list of 
thousands of loosely coupled objects. I wish each layout had own “custom“ 
pipeline browser, is it possible to make it as part of plug-in?

I am not sure I totally understand by a “private pipeline,” but I think you 
mean that you have a pipeline that you set up in ParaView over and over again 
and you would like to add a button or something to ParaView to automatically 
create this pipeline with one click.



The short answer is, yes. There are many ways to customize ParaView. The 
easiest way is to add a macro based on a Python script. There are a pair of 
exercises in The ParaView Tutorial 
(http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/The_ParaView_Tutorial) that demonstrate how to do 
this.

Hello,

I am looking for a way how to implement a private pipeline for a particular 
layout. is it possible to do this as part of third-party plug-in?



Thank you
