Hi, I wanted to setup a project that built VTK libraries using the modern vtk module cmake code, added Python wrapping to the VTK libraries, and then built a ParaView plugin that linked against the VTK libraries.
Traditionally, a ParaView plugin is created by compiling all the cxx files into the plugin library, but I wanted my files compiled into a standard VTK module library, and I wanted Python wrappers so that I could import my vtk module library in Python. Here's the example project. https://github.com/patmarion/PythonWrappedPluginExample It works, I tested it on ParaView master, but I had to comment out some lines in ParaViewPlugins.cmake to avoid configure errors. If a someone who knows the pv_setup_module_environment() macro wants to give this a shot and see why it doesn't work, please let me know! *It seems that pv_setup_module_environment() is broken:* CMake Error at ParaView/VTK/CMake/vtkModuleAPI.cmake:44 (message): No such module: "AutobahnPython" Call Stack (most recent call first): ParaView/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake:1300 (vtk_module_load) Module/CMakeLists.txt:2 (pv_setup_module_environment) I had to comment out a foreach loop to make it configure: diff --git a/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake b/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake index dcf53f9..12b139e 100644 --- a/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake +++ b/CMake/ParaViewPlugins.cmake @@ -1296,7 +1296,8 @@ macro(pv_setup_module_environment _name) include(vtkModuleAPI) include(vtkClientServerWrapping) # load information about existing modules. - foreach (mod IN LISTS VTK_MODULES_ENABLED) - vtk_module_load("${mod}") - endforeach() + #foreach (mod IN LISTS VTK_MODULES_ENABLED) + # vtk_module_load("${mod}") + # endif() + #endforeach() endmacro() Pat
