> Hi, after searching this discourse as well as the VTK documentation I could not find the information I was looking for. When declaring a StringVectorProperty there are a number of attributes where I cannot figure out what exactly they are specifying. What I need is a property that will list all the point data arrays from the input data set and use the selected entry to call a method taking a string as single argument. From the code I read, my best guess is that “number\_of\_elements” specifies…

Also this one about `SetInputArrayToProcess`
