Hi Patrick,

I'll try to answer your second question:

 > Is there a documentation for that ?

Yes, somewhere in the mailing list. Here is my version

- attached an example of a config file. Put it somewhere and
- setenv PV_INTERFACE_PATH to the directory it is in.

Now when you start up paraview you'll have an extra filter 'ABCCellCentres'

I just copied this one module description from the paraview sources:

paraview-1.2.1/ParaView/ParaView/Resources/Filters.xml


 > Python etc.
Visit and/or mayaVi use vtk&python. Haven't used them so don't know how 
good/active they are.
