Re: [Paraview] Is USE_EXTERNAL_VTK supported with ParaView 5.1.2?

You'll save many people's frustration by including VTKTargets.cmake in the "make install" target, thank you. I found a workaround is to copy VTKTargets.cmake from ParaView's build directory to the same place as the installed VTKConfig.cmake, and to replace all occurrences of the build directory by

Thank you, I will try if that works. Now that you mention it, I think I remember that I have been successful in a similar situation quite some time ago by using the build directory. However, the problem with this is that I would have to always copy around the complete build directory between

Hello, I am trying to first build and install VTK-7.0.0 and then compile ParaView 5.1.2, which should use the installed VTK-7.0.0 instead of building its own VTK version. For this purpose I configure ParaView with the -DUSE_EXTERNAL_VTK=ON option, but I get a bunch of errors. Before I attach

Sorry, my Paraview experience is too limited and my Unreal knowledge is zero, so that I won't be able to give you anything else than some ideas. First of all, Paraview cannot compete with game engines in terms of rendering speed, because the data structures are more complicated. Still, if you

Hello, I would like to work on a filter that updates some of its properties from the filter input. As a demonstration, I attach a (quite minimal) "vtkTestProperty" filter algorithm, which takes vtkPolyData input, and which is supposed to copy input->GetNumberOfPoints() into the filter's "NPoints"
