Hi,
Assuming your filter is written in such a way that is compatible with
VTK's pipeline, you have a couple of options, I am going to explain what
I believe to be the easiest option. You can then seek further
information if it doesn't suite your situation.
A few things you will need to do. I'll assume your going keep the source
inside ParaView tree. Eg. You might place the source in
ParaView3/Servers/Filters. The simplest way to get the PV UI is to
leverage ParaView's XML parser by defining the interface to your filter.
PV will parse your XML & create a panel for you. Here are the things
you'll need to do:
1)
Edit the Filters_SRCS section of:
ParaView3/Servers/Filters/CMakeLists.txt
so that your source is built with ParaView. You may/may not need to use
"//BTX" and "//ETX" comments in your header to eXclude parts of your
public interface from the python/tcl wrappings (or alternatively add
your filter to the WRAP_EXCLUDE section.
2)
Edit:
ParaView3/Qt/Components/Resources/XML/ParaViewFilters.xml
add
<Filter name="MyName" />
3)
Edit:
ParaView3/Servers/ServerManager/Resources/filters.xml
Here you'll have to write a brief section of XML code that defines your
filter's interface. You can take a look at some of the other filters
there for some examples.
Did I forget anything? Also you'll want to check out the ParaView and
VTK Guide,http://www.kitware.com/products/books.html it has these steps
spelled out much more clearly. And our wiki
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView has more info on plugins (one of
your other options).

Hello!
I want to add a new Filter to Paraview, so I downloaded the source
code with cvs and wrote two files concerning my new filter, one
header- and one source file. Now I have to include it into Paraview,
so here my question:
Which files do I have to alterate to get the filter included? I
suppose I have to write a kind of Filter-Panel, for the GUI, but I did
not find anything similar for already included filters..
thx for your help,
Natalie Happenhofer
