Re: [Paraview] Two follow-up questions on readers

[Thorsten Hater]

The first question is already answered in another thread, which I believed dead already (Question on ...), thank you for clarifying the matter there. Actually I'm working with the XML-generated GUI elements. The benefits of writing custom Qt-GUI-Panels would the access to the whole power of Qt, if I read the documentation correctly? Concerning the second matter, this feature would be very convenient indeed, yes. What about PV's feature of enumerating files of the signature base_X.vti, is this applicable to base_X.custom files as well? If so, extending the collection files type should not be complicated, I image. I will file the request, either for the .pvd-file or for both the enumeration and .pvd feature.     Thorsten Utkarsh Ayachit schrieb: 1) How do I populate GUI-Elements with data read from a file.   The ParaView book mentions InformationHelpers but does   not explain their usage. Can you elaborate a bit more on the type of "data" that you want to be displayed in the GUI elements? Also, are you planning on writing a custom panel for the reader? 2) Can I use custom files - which I provide a reader for - in   pvd-Collection-type XML-files. If yes, how do I do that,   the naive idea of simply supplying the filename ends in a   SEG-Fault. PVD does not support arbitrary file formats in the collection. It certainly would be nice feature, however I am not sure it's going to be fairly easy to implement. Feel free to add a feature request at http://www.paraview.org/Bug Utkarsh
