Hi, I made a custom filter and added a new dropdown menu to the main Paraview menubar, as per wiki tutorials. My filter works in the filters menu, and I can call the OK dialog from my new menu. I would like to add my filter to my new menu and have Paraview understand it as, and treat it just like, filters in the filter menu. I saw this posting very relevant to my question: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/paraview/2010-March/016211.html but I'd like a little more help.
What program do I put that code snippet in ? Do I make a special client side plugin just to get my filter in my toolbar ? Is there a way to do this just via XML specification ? Note I am not developing a standalone application, I am just adding plugins to ParaView. If I put my filter in my custom menu, not the ParaView filters menu, will ParaView know my plugin is a filter, eg should be added to pipeline when invoked, only be added if datatypes match, etc etc ? Is it a bad design to create an additional menu of filters rather than making a sub-section in the existing filters menu ? I just think the current set of filters is so large it would be easier for our users to make a separate menu. thanks kate _______________________________________________ Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the ParaView Wiki at: http://paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.paraview.org/mailman/listinfo/paraview
