[Paraview-developers] Dynamically generating GUI

[Daniel Wilches Maradey]

Hi,

I had't heard about wrapping the C++ methods in Python
("GetCellArrayStatus() should be wrapped in Python").
I was assuming the DLL was going to have all the necessary code for
being invoked by Python.

Do you have some resource where that process is explained?

Thanks.
