[Paraview] Viewing an Image Stack?

[Christian Werner]

As far as I know you will have to write your own ServerManager .xml file 
that adds the existing vtkTIFFReader in such a way that it will read a 
complete stack of images instead of just the first one. The 
vtkTIFFReader is definitely able to read volumes, so there will be a way 
to have a Paraview-Plugin that does, too. You can have a look here to 
get started:

If you are succesful please let me know, because I could use that 
tif-volume-reading too but I didn't have the time to get into this.


Best regards,
Christian
