Sean, I am a little confused. Are you saying that there exists a reader in ParaView that you want to use to load in a file series? And the issue is that because the reader already exists in ParaView in the "sources" group and you cannot move it to "internal_sources" or some other naming conflict?
If this is the case, I don't think there is anything special you have to do. Just make a new <FileSeriesReaderProxy> tag in the "sources" group. The Reader subproxy can be in any group; it does not mater if it also came from "sources". The FileSeriesReaderProxy can also co-exist with the single file reader so long as they have unique names. You can also make your reader read files with the same file extension; ParaView will use the plugin reader instead of the one defined in ParaView. -Ken On 1/8/09 12:19 PM, "Sean Ziegeler" <[email protected]> wrote: I'd like to write a plugin that makes the Meta format time-aware. I've looked at: http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/Animating_legacy_VTK_file_series . From that, I see that I can modify VTK/Servers/ServerManager/Resources/reader.xml, but I'd prefer it to be plugin that I can send to someone else with requiring a complete rebuild of Paraview/VTK. It should be possible to write a .xml file that gets loaded as a plugin and that wraps the Meta reader in a vtkFileSeriesReader. However, if I do it without modifying readers.xml, the original Meta reader does not get moved to a different ProxyGroup. Does that mean my new Meta Series reader won't ever be used? Is there some other way to do it that doesn't require a rebuild of Paraview?
