Help on "Drop down list with values from input file"

ParaView Support

Hello,

I’m trying to implement the XML code to get some specific arrays from the input as explained here:

https://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo (i repeated the XML code below for simplicity)

I managed to generate the related GUI but I don’t know how to get the related data inside the Python code (i’m using a Python programmable filter). Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance !

Miguel

Hello,

After looking some examples I have seen that initial_string=“MyInitialString” is used to define the variable name for StringVectorProperty that it is recognized by the Python code, but somehow this does not applies to this particular case. Any hint?

Thanks !
