[Paraview] Paraview 4.4.0 - Plugin with a custom 3d widget

[Andrzej Peczak]

Cory

I had tried to place the widget in utilities.xml under <ProxyGroup name="implicit_functions"> earlier without the success. The filter sees the standard Box but not MyBox.

Andrzej,

I believe the ProxyGroup name for the widget should be set with

<ProxyGroup name="implicit_functions">

instead of 

<ProxyGroup name="my_extended_filters">

HTH,

Hi

I am trying to customise a plugin with an implicit function widget. As an example I choose vtkPVBox class to check if I can register it under a different name. To do it I created a SM file as following, but the plugin seems not seeing the object I am registering. Can anybody explain how do I register my own widget ?

Thanks

Andrzej
