Summary0012762: Add Backface style representation to summary panel
DescriptionMost commonly, when visualizing out-flow problems, e.g., air-flow around a wing, etc., the user wants to cull the front-face to look at the actual model geometry in the interior of the domain. This is achieved by changing the backface style representation to "Cull Frontface" from the Display panel in ParaView. However, since the display panel is typically over populated and may be hidden by another tab that is currently in focus, e.g., the pipeline browser, access to that property is not readily visible and accessible to the user. Having that property accessible in the summary panel would be really useful.

The GUI controls for the front/back face rendering are crap. I knew that when I created them and that's why I buried them so far down in the display panel.

Before exposing something like that to the summary panel, which is supposed to make the UI simpler and more pleasurable, I would like someone to think seriously about the "right" way to present these controls to the user.

Perhaps a better approach would be to remove these controls and replace them with new representations. For example, in addition to having "Surface" and "Surface with Edges", have "Surface, Culled Front" and "Surface Wireframe Front". (Or would that add too many confusing options to the representations list?)

I'm closing this for now. The new panels allows searching and advanced toggle, so it's easier than it was in the case of "Summary Panels". Reopen if needed.

Although I think we need to re-think representation (dataset outline, block outline), this isn't the bug for it. I agree with Utkarsh - lets close this one. Please push back if you still think this need to be addressed.
