The following methods control Named Filter objects. A Named Filter is an object which has rules which it uses to "pass" some items, but "fail" others.
Named Filter objects can be applied to overlays to control the visibility of the items in that overlay: only items which pass are drawn, all other items become temporarily invisible. In addition, many SIS methods, e.g. Scan, accept a Named Filter as an argument.
There are several different types of Named Filter, which have different rules: see Filters for details.
Named Filter objects can be saved in, and loaded from, Named Object Libraries. Named Filter objects can be created, edited and set using the methods below.
