Hello, dear participants.
Actually, one can do what Kolja needs. If you are still interested, I can
deduce the sample from my plugin.
In 2 words:
1) inherit main view class MyView from pqView
2) create a stub class vtkPVMyView, inherited from vtkPVView, override pure
virtual functions
3) add to plugin's XML:
</ServerManagerConfiguration>
<!-- declare a view -->
<ProxyGroup name="views">
<ViewProxy
name="MyView"
class="vtkPVMyView"
processes="client"
base_proxygroup="internal_views"
base_proxyname="ViewBase"
label="My View">
</ViewProxy>
</ProxyGroup>
<!-- here is your other stuff -->
</ServerManagerConfiguration>
4) create your own container widget class and return it from
MyView::createWidget() method
5) use this in your plugin’s CMakeLists.txt:
add_pqproxy(
VIEW_IFACE VIEW_IFACE_SRCS
TYPE MyView
XML_GROUP views
XML_NAME MyView
)
That’s it. I used SpreadSheet view implementation for inspiration.
