Show Text on render view

Dear Experts,

I want to show some information on render view, when user have some actions this text can be update accordingly in background, and i don’t want user to see the text neither in pipeline browser or property panel.

I don’t know what is the best practice for doing this, any suggestion?

My current implementation is, create “TextSource” and “TextSourceRepresentation”, then use proxy to update it, but after register into pipeline, there will be “Text1” show in Pipeline Browser which is not expected… any help?

vtkNew<vtkSMParaViewPipelineController> controller;
controller->PreInitializeProxy(TextSourceProxy);
controller->PostInitializeProxy(TextSourceProxy);
controller->RegisterPipelineProxy(TextSourceProxy);

Thanks and Best Regards,
Sharon

There is no way to hide a pipeline item in the GUI. It would be trivial to add it at the XML level though as it is possible to do it in a custom application.

Thank you Mathieu for your reply!
