Description

Branches the pipeline, allowing to have two separated branches where the data propagates through. This allows the creation of complex data processing pipelines that make it possible to overlay many filter setups to create intricate visualizations. This might be particularly useful for electromagnetic simulations, where you may want to overlay glyphs with cuts, possibly in different orientations, with different fields shown, etc.

Usage

  1. Select a previously created result pipeline or filter.
  2. Press the Pipeline branch button.
  3. Select the Mode:
    • Serial - branch input data is propagated to the first child, then its output goes to the second and so on.
    • Parallel - branch input data is propagated to all children filters, so that each gets the same data.
  4. Select the Output:
    • Passthrough - branch input data gets passed through to output.
    • Append - all branch children filters outputs are appended and form the branch output.
