[vtkusers] Developing Filter for Paraview

[Arsham Mesbah]

 I am currently trying to start working on developing a filter for Paraview,
since I am really new to VTK and Paraview I thought maybe I'd write and ask
you.

The following are what I currently need to do:

Geeting familiar with how scene graph is implemented with in Paraview and
how Paraview handles different kinds of data sets. what are the classes and
modules with in Paraview source?
Is there any guideline / tutorial type of material on developing a filter
for Paraview? I was not able to find anything useful on the net and I am
currently reading chapter 13 of the VTK guide book which talk about filters
and writing filters but I am not sure I am on a right track. There are a lot
of stuff there I am not familiar with as far as what they are in VTK
context. Does writing a VTK filter relate to writing filter for paraview,
I'd think you should be able to add it to Paraview since it is VTK based,
right?

Is there any detailed documentation of classes, modules and their
functionality with in Paraview? A tutorial on how develop and add a filter
to Paraview would be really nice.

I would really appreciate any comment or help you can give me.
