[Paraview] PCL Plugin

I had a look at the PCL plugin and couldn’t help notice that you’ve copied some of my particle partition filtering code into the plugin, though it does not look functional as it’s not enabled in the cmake and does not include the relevant Zoltan sources or the vtkZoltanV1PartitionFilter base class.

The partitioning (both particle and mesh) have been refactored (from the pv-meshles plugin) into their own self contained plugin for some time now and it would be cleaner in my view to have an option in the PCL plugin to enable parallel partitioning and use the pv-zoltan plugin as a submodule where necessary
https://github.com/biddisco/pv-zoltan

(I tend to use GitExternal and SubProject cmake modules rather than a git submodule, I can send links if you’re interested).

The pv-zoltan code is currently under development (and is working with pv-4.4/master) to improve it as part of a GSOC project and should soon be compatible with zoltan2 rather than Zoltan. I can make sure a pv-4.4+zoltan1 compatible branch remains functional should we make major changes.

I might even volunteer to do the clean integration of pv-zoltan with the pcl plugin should you be in need of volunteers.

Casey,

I don't mean to take up so much of your time, but I've been reviewing the cmake configuration and I found that there were a number of HDF5 tests that failed (see below).  Is that significant?

I do not think this is a problem.

Also, one of the errors I saw upon rebuilding:

error C1041: cannot open program database 'c:\users\eric.g.younkin\documents\pcl_paraview\paraview-v4.3.1-source\build\plugins\sciberquesttoolkit\paraviewplugin\sciberquesttoolkit.dir\debug\vc120.pdb'; if multiple CL.EXE write to the same .PDB file, please use /FS C:\Users\eric.g.younkin\Documents\PCL_ParaView\ParaView-v4.3.1-source\build\Plugins\SciberQuestToolKit\ParaViewPlugin\moc_pqSQFieldTracerImplementation.cpp)

Led me to the moc_pqSQFieldTracerImplementation.cpp which had a comment at the top stating

"This file was generated using the moc from 5.5.0. It cannot be used with the include files from this version of Qt. (The moc has changed too much.)"

So I will try with Qt5.4.1 instead.

I am not familiar with this problem.  Maybe the filename is getting too long for windows?  Maybe another developer can help with the Qt issues, I am not an expert in this area.
