[Paraview] How to simply "Reload" a data file

Fri Jun 14 11:57:14 EDT 2013

BTW that's the correct XML for you, just need to create a file with that in
and load it as a plugin and you will have your "Refresh" button.

<ParaViewPlugin>
<ServerManagerConfiguration>
  <ProxyGroup name="sources">
<SourceProxy name="XDMFRrefresh" base_proxygroup="sources"
base_proxyname="XdmfReader" class="vtkXdmfReader">
      <Property name="Refresh" command="Modified"
panel_widget="command_button"/>
      <Hints>
        <ReaderFactory extensions="xmf xdmf" file_description="Xdmf Reader
(Refresh button)" />
      </Hints>
    </SourceProxy>
  </ProxyGroup>
  </ServerManagerConfiguration>
  <ParaViewReaders>
    <Reader name="ReaderWithButton" />
  </ParaViewReaders>
</ParaViewPlugin>
