I suggest putting the text you want into an array within the vtkDataObject's field arrays (not the point associated or cell associated arrays).<div>See vtkDataObject::Get/SetFieldData.</div><div><br></div><div>Those arrays are generally passed through unmodified as most filters ignore them.</div>
<div>But filters can be written that make use of them, for instance to add to the text or which reads the text out and pass it along to a text display representation.</div><div><br clear="all">David E DeMarle<br>Kitware, Inc.<br>

Dear ParaViewer's,<br>
<br>
Is there a way to pass text data along the pipeline, like a VTK text object or something? Eventually I'd want to create something like a custom source to generate an initial block of text, and then subsequent filters in the pipeline to add to to it. Any suggestions for where to start will be gratefully received.<br>
<br>
cheers<br>
<br>
