Utkarsh,
Thanks for the pointers. I'll follow-up according your suggestions.
I'm only recently doing stuff with ParaView (i.e. plugin-development).
Please accept my compliments for the way you answer questions in this
forum. The few answers you gave me + link to appropriate documentation
have been very iseful!
Regards,
Bertwim
