For the record, there is a page on ParaView 3 and Qt licensing on the ParaView Wiki:<br><a href="http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III_and_Qt_licensing">http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/ParaView_III_and_Qt_licensing</a>.<br>
<br>There is a very clear separation between GUI and engine codes. For example, it is possible to drive the engine through python without linking in any Qt dependent code. However, there is no good documentation for developers at this time.
<br>I would not say it is an easy task to write an alternative GUI for ParaView. ParaView III has 5 or more full-time, experienced developers and it is taking us months (probably more than a year) to develop a replacement for ParaView/Tk. Most of this effort is focused on the GUI. ParaView/Tk GUI has a lot of man-years of effort as well.

Hi,<br>
As I understand it, the next version of ParaView will be Qt based.
Personally I find the Qt license wanting and I wish Kitware had chosen
wxWidgets or FLTK, but it is probably too late to ask for this...so I
cut to the chase:<br>
<br>
Will version 3 of ParaView provide clear separation between UI and the
functional code so that it is a relatively easy task to write an
alternate GUI for ParaView? If so, how can I find documentation on
linking another GUI to the ParaView engine?<br>
<br>
thanks,<br>
Arash<br>
