Detailed Description

pqActiveObjects is a singleton that keeps track of "active objects" including active view, active source, active representation etc.

pqActiveObjects also keeps track of selected sources (known as 'selection'). setActiveSource/setActivePort will affect the selection but not vice-versa (unless dealing with multiple server sessions).

Member Function Documentation

◆ instance()

static pqActiveObjects& pqActiveObjects::instance ( )

static

Provides access to the singleton.

◆ activeView()

pqView* pqActiveObjects::activeView ( ) const

inline

Returns the active view.

Definition at line 76 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ activePipelineProxy()

pqProxy* pqActiveObjects::activePipelineProxy ( ) const

inline

Returns the active pipeline proxy e.g.

a pqPipelineSource or pqExtractor.

Historical note: until ParaView 5.9, the only types of objects that could be part of the data-processing pipeline were pqPipelineSource (or subclass) instances i.e. they were all vtkAlgorithm-based. With 5.9, we introduced a concept of extractors (pqExtractor) which are not vtkAlgorithm-based and hence cannot be pqPipelineSource. To avoid major disruption to API and applications, here was the chosen strategy: we let active-source be either a pqPipelineSource or pqExtractor. setActiveSource/activeSource() remains unchanged but will likely get deprecated in the future. setActivePipelineProxy and activePipelineProxy() is the now recommended API to get access to the active source and active extractor.

Definition at line 92 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ activeSource()

pqPipelineSource* pqActiveObjects::activeSource ( ) const

Returns the active pipeline proxy e.g.

a pqPipelineSource or pqExtractor.

◆ activePort()

pqOutputPort* pqActiveObjects::activePort ( ) const

Returns the active port.

◆ activeServer()

pqServer* pqActiveObjects::activeServer ( ) const

inline

Returns the active server.

Definition at line 104 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ activeRepresentation()

pqDataRepresentation* pqActiveObjects::activeRepresentation ( ) const

inline

Returns the active representation.

Definition at line 109 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ activeSourcesSelectionModel()

vtkSMProxySelectionModel* pqActiveObjects::activeSourcesSelectionModel ( ) const

inline

Definition at line 111 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ selection()

const pqProxySelection& pqActiveObjects::selection ( ) const

inline

Returns the current source selection.

Definition at line 119 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ proxyManager()

vtkSMSessionProxyManager* pqActiveObjects::proxyManager ( ) const

Returns the proxyManager() from the active server, if any.

Equivalent to calling this->activeServer()->proxyManager();

◆ activeLayout()

vtkSMViewLayoutProxy* pqActiveObjects::activeLayout ( ) const

Convenience method to get the layout for the active view.

◆ activeLayoutLocation()

int pqActiveObjects::activeLayoutLocation ( ) const

Convenience method to locate the active vtkSMViewLayoutProxy and the active cell in it.

Since currently this information is not available at the server-manager level, especially if the active view is nullptr, we use pqMultiViewWidget and pqTabbedMultiViewWidget to find this.

Returns 0 if one could not determined.

◆ setActiveView

void pqActiveObjects::setActiveView ( pqView * view )

slot

Set the active view.

Changing the active view may lead to change in active representation as well.

◆ setActivePipelineProxy

void pqActiveObjects::setActivePipelineProxy ( pqProxy * proxy )

slot

Set the active source.

Changing the active source may lead to changes in active port, and active representation.

Using setActivePipelineProxy is the recommended approach since ParaView 5.9 since it allows for supporting pqExtractor items.

◆ setActiveSource

void pqActiveObjects::setActiveSource ( pqPipelineSource * source )

inlineslot

Set the active source.

Changing the active source may lead to changes in active port, and active representation.

Using setActivePipelineProxy is the recommended approach since ParaView 5.9 since it allows for supporting pqExtractor items.

Definition at line 158 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ setActivePort

void pqActiveObjects::setActivePort ( pqOutputPort * port )

inlineslot

Set the active source.

Changing the active source may lead to changes in active port, and active representation.

Using setActivePipelineProxy is the recommended approach since ParaView 5.9 since it allows for supporting pqExtractor items.

Definition at line 159 of file pqActiveObjects.h.

◆ setActiveServer

void pqActiveObjects::setActiveServer ( pqServer * )

slot

Set the active server.

Changing the server typically leads to changes all other active items.

◆ setSelection

void pqActiveObjects::setSelection	(	const pqProxySelection &	selection,
		pqServerManagerModelItem *	current
	)

slot

Sets the selected set of proxies.

All proxies in the selection must be on the same server/session. This generally doesn't affect the activeSource etc. unless the server is different from the active server. In which case, the active server is changed before the selection is updated.

◆ serverChanged

void pqActiveObjects::serverChanged ( pqServer * )

signal

These signals are fired when any of the corresponding active items change.

◆ viewChanged

void pqActiveObjects::viewChanged ( pqView * view )

signal

◆ pipelineProxyChanged

void pqActiveObjects::pipelineProxyChanged ( pqProxy * )

signal

◆ sourceChanged

void pqActiveObjects::sourceChanged ( pqPipelineSource * )

signal

◆ portChanged

void pqActiveObjects::portChanged ( pqOutputPort * )

signal

◆ representationChanged [1/2]

void pqActiveObjects::representationChanged ( pqDataRepresentation * )

signal

◆ representationChanged [2/2]

void pqActiveObjects::representationChanged ( pqRepresentation * )

signal

◆ selectionChanged

void pqActiveObjects::selectionChanged ( const pqProxySelection & )

signal

◆ dataUpdated

void pqActiveObjects::dataUpdated ( )

signal

this signal is fired when the active source fires the dataUpdated() signal.

This is used by components in the GUI that need to be updated when the active source's pipeline updates.

◆ triggerSignals()

void pqActiveObjects::triggerSignals ( )

protected

single method that fires appropriate signals based on state changes.

This also ensures that the Cached* variables are updated correctly.
