[Paraview] Programmatically setting 2D chart properties

[Mike Jackson]

Suggestions? Not a one ;-) I was hoping there might already be  
something already in ParaView.

So at this point I guess I could add to my custom reader a client  
side plugin that allows the user to select which arrays are read,  
which effectively sets which values are plotted. I think that might  
work.

The solution to the other problem will probably involve some hacking  
in the charting code to disable the automatic legend generation and  
add a title instead.


I guess there could be some named keys in the vtkInformation object  
to set the properties on the chart? Not sure as I am not that  
familiar with the server <--> client communications.

I like the Qt GUI for the 2D plots and would hate to re-implement  
that in a client plugin but I might have to. My co-worker and I will  
keep digging to try and figure out what will work for our customer.

Thanks for the quick reply.
