[Paraview] Textures

[David.Pont@ForestResearch.co.nz]

Yes I am interested in knowing more. I have worked for some years with vtk
using C++ but I am getting more and more interested in ParaView as a
user-friendly interface, with the option of dropping into scripting (Tcl)
if something 'special' must be done. Lack of access to some vtk objects is
one issue I'd like to hear more about.
I found the info on adding readers/filters, thanks

NOTE: Everything in this message applies to ParaView 0.6 and 1.0,
some might not apply to the next release.

ParaView uses Tcl extensively. All ParaView objects and all VTK objects
it creates are wrapped in Tcl. You can access these using Tcl scripts.
ParaView trace and state files are Tcl scripts. It is possible to
execute small Tcl commands using the command prompt (Window->Command
Prompt). In the next release, some VTK objects will probably no longer
be available through Tcl, specially when running in client/server mode.
If anyone is interested in knowing more, I can continue explaining.

As adding readers go, see

There has been some other messages related to the same topic in
September and October. You can search all Kitware hosted mailing lists
