[Paraview] FW: Dayton

I also added a bug to add a facet reader to ParaView.  Per Robert's comments, it should be easy to add.

You can use the python console instead of a plugin, if you want.  Open the python console under the Tools menu and execute:

filename = "foo.facet"

import vtkIOPython
r = vtkIOPython.vtkUGFacetReader()
r.SetFileName(filename)
r.Update()
t = TrivialProducer()
t.GetClientSideObject().SetOutput(r.GetOutput())
t.UpdatePipeline()
Show()

Note, this works for paraview in the standard client only mode.  This will not work when paraview is connected to a remote server.

Hi,

Currently in ParaView you can't expose a new reader with a pure XML
based plugin. I have added the feature to mantis so you can track the
feature ( http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12657)

In the meantime you will have build your own plugin which will require
you too build your own version of ParaView or to use the developer
release.  I have included the necessary files to make the reader once
you have the correct ParaView version.

I would recommend reading the
http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo page to understand how
to build your own plugin.
