[Paraview] Call plugin filter from custom toolbar

[Jérôme]

Hi,
here is a code-snippet I used to add a custom source to the pipeline
browser:

#####################################"
      // The objectBuilder make the view factory available
      pqObjectBuilder* builder =
pqApplicationCore::instance()->getObjectBuilder();

      // The server manager model is used for getting the server to plug the
source in.
      pqServerManagerModel* smm =
pqApplicationCore::instance()->getServerManagerModel();
      QList<pqServer*> serversList = smm->findItems<pqServer*>( );

      // I use it only on a stand-alone paraview. So I just check the
validity of the
      // built-in server, that serverList.count() != 0 and serverList[0] is
the built-in server
      // It has to be adapted for client/server systems.
      if( serversList.count() != 0 )
      {
         pqPipelineSource* pipelineSource = 0;
         pipelineSource = builder->createSource( "sources",
                                                 "MyCustomSource",
                                                 serversList[0] );
     }
#########################################

If your filter is selectable from the menu, it means that you have a valid
XML
description: the builder will do the right job. Just adapt it for a filter
rather than
a source.
