[Paraview] Specifying filters from plugins in ParaViewWeb Visualizer proxy file

[louise.davies at stfc.ac.uk]

Hi Scott,

I am using the default pvw-visualizer.py server file, which does register ParaViewWebStartupPluginLoader before ParaViewWebProxyManager.

For clarification, this is what I’m adding to my json file (using the Flying Edges 3D example):

In the “filters” section:
{ "name": "FlyingEdges3D", "label": "Flying Edges 3D"}

Hi Louise,

   Off the top of my head, I would think that what you are doing should work, but maybe Seb can chime in otherwise.  In your application server code, do you register the "ParaViewWebStartupPluginLoader" before the "ParaViewWebProxyManager"?

Hello all,

I’m specifying some plugins to load with Visualizer, and I want to be able to apply filters from these plugins in Visualizer. I’ve copied the defaultProxies.json<https://github.com/Kitware/ParaView/blob/master/Web/Python/defaultProxies.json> file from the ParaView source code and I don’t know how to get ParaView to recognise my plugin filter name.

For example, I specify on the command line I want to load the default AcceleratedAlgorithms plugin. I want to expose the Flying Edges 3D filter in Visualizer. However, all of the names I can find related to the Flying Edges 3D filter in its .xml file<https://github.com/Kitware/ParaView/blob/master/Plugins/AcceleratedAlgorithms/AcceleratedAlgorithms.xml> (e.g. FlyingEdges3D, vtkFlyingEdges3D) do not allow me to use the filter. When I click on the item in the filters pane it does nothing.

Am I understanding this incorrectly? Does it work differently for filters loaded from plugins than from default ParaView filters?

Kind Regards,

Louise
