[Paraview] Exporters in Paraview GUI

[Enkelejda Tafaj]

Hi,

sorry for keeping this thread open, but I cannot find a solution for 
using Exporters in Paraview.

E.g. does anyone know how to use the IVExporter in Paraview? There is 
the class vtkIVExporter which is compiled, but how to integrate it in 
the Paraview GUI? Integrating it as a Paraview Writer Plugin does not 
work as Exporters in VTK do not have the same interfaces as Writers 
(below I tried for GL2PS).

Any idea how Paraview supports/integrates vtkExporters?

Thank you,
Enkelejda
