[Paraview-developers] Developing interactive ParaView reader

[Michael Schlottke]

Hi,

Is it possible to "interactively" get user input when writing a ParaView reader? We have developed a ParaView reader plugin for our simulation data that builds an unstructured grid and visualizes all data arrays found in the solution file. I am looking for a possibility to search the solution file (e.g. during CanReadFile()) for viable datasets,  which are then presented to the user to select the data that should be visualized.

At the moment we use the ServerConf.xml file to get all user options, but with the .xml file we can only hard code some options. We are hoping that there is a way to interactively act with the user from within the plugin. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Michael
