<div dir="ltr">A question to the specialists:<br>Can Paraview refresh its view automatically when a dataset updates its state?<br><br>A
plugin starts a background thread that calculates new dataset values
periodically. Each time a calculation step is finished, all filters and
views connected to the generated dataset should be updated. (Something
similar is done in a live catalyst connection. But catalyst has a
serious drawback for large datasets. It runs in a separate process, so
that the datasets cannot be in shared memory, but have to be
transferred, requiring redundant storage space and wasted network
bandwidth.) Although paraview is said to be not thread safe, it should't
be problematic as long as access to VTK classes is limited to the main
thread. The difficult question is, how can paraview be notified that a
plugin has updated its output while the main thread only waits for GUI or
network events when idle?<br><br>Any ideas or recommendations?<br>Conny</div>
