[Paraview] Create a plugin

[Christian Werner]

If you want to add a plugin (an existing VTK Filter) into Paraview, you 
can start here:

http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/Plugin_HowTo

If you are planning to implement your own data manipulation, you'll have 
to learn how to write VTK Filters and understand the mechanics of VTK, 
especially its pipeline design:

 www.cmake.org/Wiki/images/8/80/Pipeline.pdf
http://www.cmake.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/Utilities/Upgrading/TheNewVTKPipeline.pdf?rev=1.5


The next step would be to look into example code or some of the simple 
filters. You might also want to buy the VTK User's Guide, if you are 
planning to really get into this topic. In such a filter you can of 
course do what ever you need.
After all, if you just want to execute some existing program out of 
Paraview, you might as well do this from the Python shell:

import subprocess

subprocess.call(['myProgram'])


Which you can save as a macro and make it accessible through a nifty button.


Best regards,
Christian
