Adding own GUI in Paraview

Question

I need to add my own, self made qt gui in paraview. I heard about paraview plugins that should allow that. But I do not find a tutorial on it. How can I add buttons, checkboxes, comboboxes in Paraview? Could somebody show me an example? Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The ParaView Wiki has lots of information on using and customising ParaView. In particular, see the section on plugins and the page on writing custom applications. These describe two different ways of customising the functionality of ParaView.

You don't state what language your GUI is written in, but if you can use or call Python then the easiest way to interact with ParaView may be through the Python scripting interface.
