[Paraview-developers] paraview automatically display data generated from another program

[Andy Bauer]

Hi Li,

The coprocessing tools in ParaView will eventually support this but we're
still working on that functionality.  As Yumin said, the fastest way to
currently do this would probably be to write your own plugin.  You could
look at the adiosreader plugin which should be doing some if not all of
what you're trying to do.
