Re: [Paraview] [Paraview-developers] The Quest for Data
Eric, I've committed a fix to allow you to interact with the 3D windows but nothing else while the dialog is open. There are still some kinks esp. with the labels if you change the active view. I am going to iron those out as well, but feel free to give it a try.

Re: [Paraview] [Paraview-developers] The Quest for Data
I think that's a great fix, Utkarsh! It seems much more useful now since sometimes the selections are obscured by other objects and this allows me to go back and forth between the 3D window and the query dialog without having to re-enter the info. Thanks a lot! -Eric On Mar 3, 2010, at 12:09 PM, Utkarsh Ayachit wrote: Eric, I've committed a fix to allow you to interact with the 3D windows but nothing else while the dialog is open.

Re: [Paraview] [Paraview-developers] The Quest for Data
Thanks, Utkarsh -- I appreciate it. With the way the existing query-based selection framework is implemented, is there any chance of incorporating the chaining of queries to select subsets of subsets? (With my users, I know this is one of the first things they're going to ask me when I show them the new functionality.) I can add these as feature requests, but it would also be cool if there was a way to specify a precision for some types of selections, like within a certain error tolerance of a floating point value, or within a certain radius of a point coordinate. (I know the is between does the former, but for some applications the value +/- tolerance might be more natural to think about.)

(With my users, I know this is one of the first things they're going to ask me when I show them the new functionality.) Not for 3.8, but going forward, we do plan to support use of boolean and and or to create a long combined query that should address your concern. In fact the GUI panel design already makes provisions for that, the problem being underlying VTK framework doesn't have a clean selection combination support and hence we've decided to defer that until after 3.8. I can add these as feature requests, but it would also be cool if there was a way to specify a precision for some types of selections, like within a certain error tolerance of a floating point value, or within a certain radius of a point coordinate. (I know the is between does the former, but for some applications the value +/- tolerance might be more natural to think about.) Feel free to add feature requests for these.
