Re: pipeline question

Hello Gerald,

I also noticed that in Catalyst (look at my last message here : 
https://discourse.paraview.org/t/is-it-possible-to-add-new-connections-to-a-fitler-port-via-the-pipeline-browser/1149/7) 
:

I have a vtk HDF writer in which I tested adding a second connection in 
Port 0, but with 2 connections, 
vtkStreamingDemandDrivenPipeline::UPDATE_TIME_STEP doesn't contain an 
epoch anymore but incremental reals in both connections (2 filters output).

So, if someone can give us an explanation and a fix that would be great 
? I wish there's a good resource explaining and demystifying VTK 
pipeline architecture.

Regards.
