Hi,

This is the classic 80% / 20% software problem where 80% of the users only
use 20% of the capabilities but each 20% is significantly different.

As for creating your own Catalyst edition, that is definitely possible.
There's some information at
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Generating_Catalyst_Source_Tree on how to
create your own source tree. There is a bit more detailed information in
the Catalyst Users Guide (
http://www.paraview.org/files/catalyst/docs/ParaViewCatalystUsersGuide_v2.pdf)
in Chapter 4.

The recommended way of doing this is by starting off with editions (you can
use more than one of the existing editions when creating your customized
edition) and then adding in your own after that. That way you don't have to
worry about all of the details for things like Python or rendering.

Best,
Andy
