Hi, all.
I hope to render vtkGraph in ParaView, which is available in VTK. The related classes are vtkGraphLayoutView, vtkRenderedGraphRepresentation. There is also a source class: vtkRandomGraphSource. My plan is to realize a customized view for vtkGraph. As an experiment, there are at least 3 things to to: 1. a source for vtkGraph, which is the easiest part. Just load a xml file wrapping vtkRandomGraphSource. 2. a view. May be a subclass of vtkPVRenderView, with its RenderView replaced by vtkGraphLayoutView. I have tried that, and the view shows in MainWindow, but I don't know if it really works. 3. a representation. vtkGraphLayoutView uses vtkRenderedGraphRepresentation by default. But I don't know how to use this representation class in ParaView, only find that every representation class in Paraview is derived from vtkPVDataRepresentation. I am trying to write a custumized grapg view according to my plan. Before everything is done, I have to figure out how view and representaion work in Paraview. My questions are: 1. Does my plan works? Is there any aspect I have ignored? 2. How to use a vtk representation class in Paraview? 3. What is the best way to visualize graph in Paraview? Any advices will be appreciated! _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
