Edit Menu

From the Edit menu you can control settings for ParaView, undo and redo various actions, change the pipeline topology, and determine how the mouse interacts with the 3D view.

## Undo / Redo

Undo the last action (or redo the last undone action) performed in ParaView not related to changing the point of view or orientation for viewing data in a 3D view. This is the same functionality provided by the Undo/Redo controls toolbar.

## Undo / Redo Camera

Undo the last camera-related action (or redo the last undone action of this type). Camera-related actions include changing the viewpoint for looking at the data in the 3D scene (rotating, panning, zooming, selecting one of the axis-aligned views) or changing the orientation for viewing the data (rolling).

## Change Input

Choose a new input for the item selected in the Pipeline Browser. This only works for filters in the pipeline since sources and readers do not have inputs.

See the Change Input section of the Pipeline Browser page for more information.

## Delete

Remove the item selected in the Pipeline Browser from the visualization pipeline. This can only be done if the selected item is at the end of the pipeline (i.e., no filters are connected to it).

## Delete All

This option removes any readers, sources, or filters you have created. This is the equivalent of going to the Properties tab for each data set and pressing the Delete button or selecting each data set in the Pipeline Browser and selecting Delete from the Edit menu (see above) for it.

## Interact

Click and drag in a 3D view to change the point of view or orientation for viewing the data set.

## Select Cells On

Draw a selection rectangle to select cells located on the surface of a data set.

## Select Points On

Draw a selection rectangle to select points located on the surface of a data set.

## Select Cells Through

Draw a selection rectangle to select cells through a data set regardless of their depth relative to the visible surface.

## Select Points Through

Draw a selection rectangle to select points through a data set regardless of their depth relative to the visible surface.

## Settings

Selecting this option displays a dialog box that controls the settings for the ParaView application as a whole. In the left column of the dialog box is a tree structure for selecting which settings to view and/or change.

## View Settings

The View Settings entry in the Edit menu displays a dialog for changing properties of the selected view. The contents of this dialog change depending on which view type is selected.
