Hi, I want to write a Reader for Paraview (I guess a plugin is better than directly hacking into the Paraview source).
As I have to base on an vtkUnstructuredGridAlgorithm I cloned the vtkGAMBITReader as it was the shortest (Only change of name, no functionality yet). I follwed the Plugin-HowTO and with the help of the XML files in the examples section and was able to compile a plugin. The extension I use is .h5 (but we do not want to use the HDF5 reader but our own stuff). SYSTEM_HDF5 is disabled. When I load the Plugin no .h5 extension appears in the file open dialog. I have several (starters) questions: * Shall the extension appear there? * I use OpenSuse 11.0 64bit with QT 4.4 - Paraview compiles nice after commenting the WARNING() in the cmake file. - Can this be the reason for the problem? - What actually is the QT 4.4 issue? It compiles ... * When I load a plugin again, is it reloaded? * Is vtkGAMBITReader a good start? I found no appropriate extension in file open. I just started with the mailing list and did not find something appropriate yet. Thanks a lot, Fabian P.S.: I have no experience with ParaView yet (we have first to read our data :)) _______________________________________________ ParaView mailing list ParaView@paraview.org http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
