[Paraview] State files and plugins

[Reuter, Michael A.]

Hi Seb,

I looked at this a bit closer and I see that when loading the state file the RequestInformation function is being executed for our plugins, but RequestData is not. Is this the expected behavior or is something wrong with our plugins?

Thanks,
M

When a state file is read, ParaView will create the proxy the same way as they used to be with the same set of values for their properties.
That's about it, nothing special regarding the RequestInformation and RequestData.

The only thing that could happen is if your plugin classes expect a certain ordering in property setting and so on, this may cause some issue, as we basically set the state in a 'random' order.

Hi,

I have a dumb question about state files. When a plugin is called while loading a state file, what function calls are executed on the plugin? I'm specifically wondering about RequestInformation and RequestData.

Thanks,
M
