[Paraview] personalising layout

[Verhoeven, Niek (UK)]

Hello

 

My apologies if this has already been discussed (yes I am a newby).

It would be helpful if you can point me to those discussions.

 

Still use 3.4.0 will migrate shortly.

 

I've been asked to develop a simplified version of paraview call it
pv-lite 

This involves changing menu bar, toolbar and modifying a few filters.

The input data is always in the same format.  

 

I changed the menu bar from: [File] [Edit] {View] .. [Help] to something
like [(pv-lite)File] [(pv-lite)Edit] ... [(pv-lite)Help]

The toolbars of pvlite contain icons for Opening, Saving and Printing
and a few specific filters. Plus there is a icon with which the user can
switch to and from paraview proper.

 

All this can be achieved by modifying the class MainWindow as given in
ParaView-3.4.0\Applications\Client

 

An other way is using plugins aka the Autostart plugin. There is a trick
to get to the QMainWindow object. 

I think the use of plugins is preferred however due to the savestate in
MainWindow::~MainWindow() I do still require minor modifications to that
class.

 

I wonder if someone has achieved changing the look and feel of paraview
in a similar manner by purely using plugins. 

 

Regards

 

Niek
