[Paraview] customizing paraview with our own QT GUI

[David E DeMarle]

> Does paraview has any sample applications showing how the branding
framework works

hmmm, let me dig around. I seem to have lost track of the four starters I
made back in 2009 for the workshop presentation
http://www.paraview.org/Wiki/IEEE_Vis09_Revise_Workshop.
They may be lost to antiquity at this point in which case it will
unfortunately take an hour or two to recreate them.

> How do I get to that functionality in the paraview source?

Unfortunately a lot of that has to come from familiarity with the code
base. For readers you can grep in readers.xml file and the VisItBridge.

Pretty much yes. The core of ParaView will always be c++, but then it can
be wrapped. For the last few years python has been the interpreted language
of choice. In the distant past it was Tcl. We've done a few projects with
Java more recently. .net would be harder.
