[Paraview] Custom panel widget

[Andrzej Peczak]

Hi Utkarsh

Our use-case scenario is that we have our own filter based on vtkCpCutter (both vtkPolyData on the input and output port) . We use this filter to generate a set of slices on surface geometry. We then process the obtained contours with vtkPlotEdges. For each contour (slice) we would like to compute a scalar value, say max distance between two points in the contour and output the values to the scalar list widget. Of course we also would like to modify the distances and send it back to the filters. These values will be used to update the output of the filter.

> Is it possible to create a custom widget for a filter which would allow me to retrieve the results of its computation? I would like to reproduce the functionality of the pqDoubleVectorPropertyWidget and populate it with values computed by the filter. I know how to create and register the widget but I do not know how do I send values to it from the filter. In paraview code base  I found vtkEventQtSlotConnect but I do not know if it is of any use to my problem.

There are several ways of skinning this cat. Can you elaborate of what exactly is your use-case? Do you want the default values for this double-vector-property (DVP) set using some values provided by the VTK filter, but allow user to override using UI?
