[Paraview-developers] custom object panel with additional information

[Lodron, Gerald]

Hello

Is there a way to display some additional output from filter computation in the custom object panel or information panel? I programmed a custom paraview plugin with a filter and a custom object panel for some filter settings and now want to display some meta information of computation, e.g. Computation Time, Number of used iterations, etc....

I think I must overwrite the "updateInformationAndDomains()" function in my panel to set a QLabel for outputting such thinks but I have no clue how to get to the "GetProcessingTime" of my filter. I think it must be something like that:

vtkSMSourceProxy* poSourceProxy = vtkSMSourceProxy::SafeDownCast(this->proxy());
    if( !poSourceProxy )
        return;

    vtkSMProperty* poProcessingTime = poSourceProxy->GetProperty("GetProcessingTime");

but I have no clue what to write into the xml or how to get the return value from GetProcessingTime....

I searched for an example doing this but cannot find anything, for any help I would be very thankful...

Best regards,
Gerald
