Bertwim, Ken is right, the default representation is chosen by the view in which the source output is displayed. See, for instance,
ParaView/ParaViewCore/ServerManager/Rendering/vtkSMRenderViewProxy::GetRepresentationType() for the logic used to pick the default representation used in the 3D View. - Cory On Thu, Oct 2, 2014 at 10:50 PM, B.W.H. van Beest <[email protected]> wrote: > It is just a box, sphere, etc (originating from vtkCubeSource, > vtpSPhereSource). > I want to display them initially in a wireframe representation. > > Regards, > Bertwim > > On 10/02/2014 08:38 PM, Moreland, Kenneth wrote: >> As far as I know (and anyone else on the list is welcome to correct me), >> you cannot directly change the default representation for the output of a >> source/filter.
