Dear Paraview people, I am investigating the option to use Paraview as the base platform for a simulation project that we are currently working on. Paraview's visualisation capabilities, as well as the (alleged) extensibility (by writing plugins) suggest that this is the case indeed.
In order to get a better feeling of this, I want to try a small example showing me how this all works. However, I get lost in the documentation and code tree. Browsing the web for information on writing a paraview plugin typically refer to Paraview's web pages, but I must admit that the are not really helpful, despite the amount of words devoted to the topic. I wonder if there is somebody who can help me, or point me to useful information. As a sample problem, this is what I would like to do: 1. Suppose I have created, interactively, a box, a sphere and a cone, using the corresponding entries in the "Sources" menu. 2. Now I would like to *programmatically* (i.e. in a c++ plugin) loop over the sources (here: the box, sphere and cone) and for each of the elements get hold of the parameters that were used to define these sources (i.e. the box dimensions, center, radii etc.). With these parameters I can then do other things to build my own extension, but those details do not matter here. I have looked into the examples, but I really do not recognise in any of them what I'm supposed to do. Maybe it is there, but I find the code tree of such a complexity that I have problems in finding what I need. Your help is greatly appreciated.
