Answering your first question is not too difficult, however, diving
into ParaView source code to make it your front end is truly complex
and someone else will have to reply.<br>
<br>
1) Look at the tool bars at the top left. Look at the third line
down where the red-to-blue shaded icon is located. On this line, go
to right end where you will find a green "circular" arrow with a
smaller black arrow pointing to the green arrow's center. Click on
this icon and go to your display (Layout #1) and select a point on
your object about which you wish the rotation to occur. For zooming,
it is helpful to move this new center of rotation to the middle of
the screen.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm very excited about paraview, and I think it might fit
my needs perfectly. However, I have two questions.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1) What is the simplest way to "rotate about the x axis" ?
The data I have is rather long : length x >> length y
and z. So when I zoom in around the extremes, rotation around
the center is really unhelpful for inspection.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2) I would like to use Paraview as a 'front end' for an
interactive program I am planning to write. Is there a way to
"capture mouse events" over the image so that I can turn those
into changes in the presentation of the data?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks,</div>
<div>Chris</div>
