[Paraview] building paraview

[Leila Baghdadi]

Hi Berk

Thanks very much for trying to help me. I am just gonna tell you why I am 
trying to use paraview see what you think.

I ( and my collaborator) have designed and coded a new file format which 
sits on top of hdf5, it is a new generation of minc(developed at Montreal)
we have used the blocking and compression mechanism built in hdf5 and 
came up with our own multi-resolution algorithm.
I already have a viewer which sits over vtk and atamai classes and reads 
the old minc files but caches everything. 
I checked the web and saw that there is already a vtkhdfreader so I can 
try rewriting that for reading and writing my minc2 files but my biggest 
challenge is caching! 
I heard about paraview on the itk list and read about it and 
found out that it reads hdf files and it is also designed for large files 
so I am hoping to get some of the smart caching ideas by using it and 
looking through the code.

sorry for writing a long e-mail
