A parallel coordinates plot represents each variable in a multivariate data set as a separate axis. Individual samples of that data set are represented as a polyline that pass through each variable axis at positions that correspond to data values. vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation generates this plot when added to a vtkParallelCoordinatesView, which handles interaction and highlighting. Sample polylines can alternatively be represented as s-curves by enabling the UseCurves flag.
There are three selection modes: lasso, angle, and function. Lasso selection picks sample lines that pass through a polyline. Angle selection picks sample lines that have similar slope to a line segment. Function selection picks sample lines that are near a linear function defined on two variables. This function specified by passing two (x,y) variable value pairs.
All primitives are plotted in normalized view coordinates [0,1].
To create an instance of class vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation, simply invoke its constructor as follows
obj = vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation
The class vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation has several methods that can be used. They are listed below. Note that the documentation is translated automatically from the VTK sources, and may not be completely intelligible. When in doubt, consult the VTK website. In the methods listed below, obj is an instance of the vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation class. 
string = obj.GetClassName ()  int = obj.IsA (string name)  vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation = obj.NewInstance ()  vtkParallelCoordinatesRepresentation = obj.SafeDownCast (vtkObject o)  obj.ApplyViewTheme (vtkViewTheme theme) - Apply the theme to this view. CellColor is used for line coloring and titles. EdgeLabelColor is used for axis color. CellOpacity is used for line opacity.  string = obj.GetHoverText (vtkView view, int x, int y) - Returns the hover text at an x,y location.  int = obj.SetPositionAndSize (double position, double size) - Change the position of the plot  int = obj.GetPositionAndSize (double position, double size) - Change the position of the plot  obj.SetAxisTitles (vtkStringArray ) - Set/Get the axis titles  obj.SetAxisTitles (vtkAlgorithmOutput ) - Set/Get the axis titles  obj.SetPlotTitle (string ) - Set the title for the entire plot  int = obj.GetNumberOfAxes () - Get the number of axes in the plot  int = obj.GetNumberOfSamples ()  obj.SetNumberOfAxisLabels (int num) - Set/Get the number of labels to display on each axis  int = obj.GetNumberOfAxisLabels () - Set/Get the number of labels to display on each axis  int = obj.SwapAxisPositions (int position1, int position2) - Move an axis to a particular screen position. Using these methods requires an Update() before they will work properly.  int = obj.SetXCoordinateOfPosition (int position, double xcoord) - Move an axis to a particular screen position. Using these methods requires an Update() before they will work properly.  double = obj.GetXCoordinateOfPosition (int axis) - Move an axis to a particular screen position. Using these methods requires an Update() before they will work properly.  obj.GetXCoordinatesOfPositions (double coords) - Move an axis to a particular screen position. Using these methods requires an Update() before they will work properly.  int = obj.GetPositionNearXCoordinate (double xcoord) - Move an axis to a particular screen position. Using these methods requires an Update() before they will work properly.  obj.SetUseCurves (int ) - Whether or not to display using curves  int = obj.GetUseCurves () - Whether or not to display using curves  obj.UseCurvesOn () - Whether or not to display using curves  obj.UseCurvesOff () - Whether or not to display using curves  obj.SetCurveResolution (int ) - Resolution of the curves displayed, enabled by setting UseCurves  int = obj.GetCurveResolution () - Resolution of the curves displayed, enabled by setting UseCurves  double = obj.GetLineOpacity () - Access plot properties  double = obj.GetFontSize () - Access plot properties  double = obj.

See the main description for how to use these functions. RangeSelect is currently stubbed out.  obj.AngleSelect (int brushClass, int brushOperator, double p1, double p2) - Do a selection of the lines.
