[Paraview] picking/widgets, events, ImageData -> plots

[Randy Heiland]

Time frame?  I'm an academic.  And you're offering free, open source software. :)  Let's just say +1 to a request list.

But beyond the selection functionality, is there some way to (dynamically) connect the selection to update a 2-D plot?  I can (sort of) already select a row in my ImageData, if I use a 3D view (http://mypage.iu.edu/~heiland/pv-stuff/).  But is there some magic to connect that selection to a port, that triggers an update to a plot window, etc?

We would like the ability to select a region of the ImageData, e.g. select an entire row, and have an X-Y plot be displayed in another window.  So, in this use case, one window (ImageData) remains static, but as a new row is selected, another window (plot/chart) is dynamically updated.  I'd welcome pointers to docs/examples and suggestions.
