Hi Joshua,<br>
<br>
In your constructor you'd need to call<br>
<blockquote>this->SetNumberOfInputPorts(2);<br>
</blockquote>
You'd need to override <br>
<blockquote>FillInputPortInformation(int port, vtkInformation *info)<br>
</blockquote>
implement a switch on port number and do something like:<br>
<br>
288 switch (port)<br>
289 {<br>
290 // Vector feild data<br>
291 case 0:<br>
292 info->Set(vtkAlgorithm::INPUT_REQUIRED_DATA_TYPE(),
"vtkUnstructuredGrid");<br>
293 break;<br>
294 // Seed points<br>
295 case 1:<br>
296 info->Set(vtkAlgorithm::INPUT_REQUIRED_DATA_TYPE(),
"vtkTable");<br>
297 break;<br>
398 }<br>
<br>
in request data you have to grab the table from the second
information object.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps<br>
Burlen<br>

<div bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000"> hi, information keys
are more for passing info between filters through the
pipeline. if all you want is to display a string, you could
make a second output port to your reader that produces a
vtkTable and populate it with the string. This could be
displayed in the pv ui. here's a quick example of what you'd
do in your request data:<br>
<br>
<br>
315 vtkInformation *outInfo;<br>
316 vtkTable *output;<br>
317 vtkStringArray *data;<br>
318 <br>
319 // output port 1 -> bw data<br>
320 outInfo=outputVector->GetInformationObject(0);<br>
321 output<br>
322 =
dynamic_cast<vtkTable*>(outInfo->Get(vtkDataObject::DATA_OBJECT()));<br>
323 data=vtkStringArray::New();<br>
324 data->SetName("BW Data");<br>
325 data->SetNumberOfComponents(1);<br>
326 data->InsertNextValue(bwData.c_str());<br>
327 output->AddColumn(data);<br>
328 data->Delete();<br>

am trying to get meta-data information from a file

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">I
set keys as follows:</div>

have a function to add the value to the key like such:</div>

I do this, I can successfully pull the placed data
from the information object from within the reader.</div> <div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br>

I cannot figure out is how to access this object from
within Paraview.</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;"><br>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">My
goal is to be able to include the calendar date (as
text) in the render view. </div>

</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: medium;">Can
someone guide me in the correct direction on how to do
this? I am looking for possibly a python way of
getting at this data.</div>
