Hi!
I just wrote a nice mapper which writes some data to the disk, taking a
volume as input. I thought I could access it from the "Filters" menu,
but this wasn't possible. In future, this mapper should be called from
the python shell, but there, it isn't known either:
>> help(MeasureObjects)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "<console>", line 1, in <module>
NameError: name 'MeasureObjects' is not defined
The plugin-manager however says, that he loaded my plugin ("...is
definetely a paraview plugin..."). It shows up as "loaded" when
verifying this.
The plugin is not intended as a writer or something like that, it just
looks at the input and writes something to the disk which Paraview
couldn't use for anything anyway. Here is my xml content:
<ServerManagerConfiguration>
<!-- This is the server manager configuration XML. It defines the
interface to
our new filter. As a rule of thumb, try to locate the
configuration for
a filter already in ParaView (in
Servers/ServerManager/Resources/*.xml)
that matches your filter and then model your xml on it -->
<ProxyGroup name="mappers">
<SourceProxy name="MeasureObjects" class="vtkMeasureObjects"
label="MeasureObjects">
<Documentation
long_help="Measures objects (connected components) in a volume."
short_help="Classical measuring.">
This is classical object measuring filter.
</Documentation>
<InputProperty
name="Input"
command="SetInputConnection">
<ProxyGroupDomain name="groups">
<Group name="sources"/>
<Group name="filters"/>
</ProxyGroupDomain>
<DataTypeDomain name="input_type">
<DataType value="vtkImageData"/>
</DataTypeDomain>
</InputProperty>
<!-- End MeasureObjects -->
</SourceProxy>
</ProxyGroup>
</ServerManagerConfiguration>
If I define the plugin as a filter then Paraview complains about not
having an output port.
Any suggestions?
Best regards,
Christian
