[Paraview] Some information about extending paraview functionalities

[Luca Penasa]

Hi everybody, 
	Maybe some of my question could be answered with some 'googling', but i
would like to make the point on some problems i have encountered. Thanks
to everybody!

this is my problem:

In the last months i learned the basis of the vtk library (that is
simply a wonderful tool!!) and i am using the python wrappings for my
applications. I have writed a python module with several functions for
doing operations on point clouds.

At this point i am using paraview ONLY for view the results of my python
code...

Now i would like to make a step forward, and begin to implement my code
into the paraview gui, maybe as a filter or plugin (sorry, but i did not
clearly understand the difference!?), so i could import my data in
paraview and do the same operations i am currently doing from the python
shell. It would be great if i could extend paraview-gui functionalities
for setting the parameters and execute the functions i writed in
python...

So i found this page:
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo#Embedding_Python_Source_as_Modules

but i cannot understand if what i want to do is actually possible or
not..

Anybody can give me some clarifications?
If it is possible, is there a place where to find some examples?

Sorry for my english, i hope you understand what i mean!

Thank you!
