Cory, I’m pretending to be a real programmer, so my Programmable Filter script looks something like this:
Def sub1: Do some stuff Return var Def sub2(var): Do some stuff Return newVar Def sub3(var): Do some stuff Return newVar Def RequestData(): X=sub1() Y=sub2(X) Z=sub3(Y) Do something with Z Everything except RequestData gets lost – should I just manually break everything down and insert at the beginning of the default_values in StringVectorProperty, or is there some way to trick it into reading the entire script?

I'm glad it's what you are looking for. You can hide any property by editing the XML file. In the property element, add an attribute called "panel_visibility" and set this to "never". This will hide the property from view. You can also set it to "advanced" so that it shows up only when the advanced option is enabled. Here's an example: <StringVectorProperty panel_visibility="never" name="Script" command="SetScript" number_of_elements="1" default_values="my python script"> <Documentation>This property contains the text of a python program that the programmable source runs.</Documentation> </StringVectorProperty> Cheers, Cory On Thu, Sep 24, 2015 at 12:47 PM, Dennis Conklin <dennis_conk...@goodyear.com<mailto:dennis_conk...@goodyear.com>> wrote: One more question – the original article says that Alternatively, the Script properties can be hidden completely from the properties panel.

On Wed, Sep 23, 2015 at 2:39 PM, Dennis Conklin <dennis_conk...@goodyear.com<mailto:dennis_conk...@goodyear.com>> wrote: All, Pat Marion discussed adding interactive Properties for a Programmable Filter here: http://www.kitware.com/blog/home/post/534 I have a few questions about this: 1. Is this still valid for v4.4 with the original python_filter_generator.py? Yes, I just tested it. 2. Have we added any other capability. For instance, I would love to present a list of variables to be calculated and let my user select or unselect each to decide exactly what he wants as output. With a numeric field with 0 as unselect and 1 as select, people will always manage to type something else in there. If this interface could have a checklist, or if fields could have a drop down list (Yes/No, etc) then this would greatly expand the utility of this technique. You can do this if you have a fixed number of variables. Just list each variable option as a IntVectorProperty with a BooleanDomain in the XML. In the input file for the filter generator, just express these options with the default values, .e.g, Properties = dict( generate_var1 = True, generate_var2 = False, generate_var3 = False ) The filter generator will convert each of these lines into XML of the following form: <IntVectorProperty name="generate_var1" label="generate var1" initial_string="generate_var1" command="SetParameter" animateable="1" default_values="1" number_of_elements="1"> <BooleanDomain name="bool" /> <Documentation></Documentation> </IntVectorProperty> These properties will appear as checkboxes in the UI of your filter. Of course, you can tweak the XML files that are generated if it doesn't get the label attribute for the property right, for instance. I hope that helps. Cory So, is anyone using this and perhaps knows how to do these extended things?
