Using the same filter for multiple input fields

ParaView Support

I have a dataset with 2 or more input fields “f1”, “f2”, “f3” etc. Say all fields have values in [0.1]. How can I apply the same filter to all of the fields simultaneously without copying the filter?

E.g. applying a “Contour” filter with one isoline at 1.0 that gets “f1” as input and then apply the same filter with the same settings also to “f2”, “f3”, etc.

In pseudocode, I want to replace

d = open("data.vtu");
contour(d.f1, iso=[1.0]);
contour(d.f2, iso=[1.0]);
contour(d.f3, iso=[1.0]);
contour(d.f4, iso=[1.0]);
contour(d.f5, iso=[1.0]);
contour(d.f6, iso=[1.0]);
# ...

with

contour([d.f1,d.f2,d.f3,d.f4,d.f5,d.f6], iso=[1.0]);
# Julia-like: or map(x->contour(x, iso=[1.0]), [d.f1,d.f2,d.f3,d.f4,d.f5,d.f6])

… in the GUI.

Is that possible?

As you stated, it is not possible to do that in ParaView without creating n filters.

Thanks for the reply.

I found another way in the meantime (for my very specific problem)…
Setup: I have a set of triangles where each node has a value assigned to it (integer membership to a domain decomposition = region) and want to mark the region boundaries. It is basically a DG-style mesh produced by Gridap.jl when writing a cell field, see, e.g., here.
Problem: Since it’s a set of unconnected triangles, we cannot apply a contour filter with iso=[1,2,3,...].
Fix: “Apply Warp to 3D” filter for the region membership s.t. every region has a different z component. Then apply the “Clean” filter to glue the triangles of each regions together. Then apply the “Extract Region Surface” filter folowed by the “Features Edges (only boundary edges enabled)” to get all region boundaries.
