size=3>I’ve been asked to develop a simplified version of paraview call it
pv-lite </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>This involves changing menu bar, toolbar and modifying a few
filters.</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>I changed the menu bar from: [File] [Edit] {View] .. [Help] to something
like [(pv-lite)File] [(pv-lite)Edit] … [(pv-lite)Help]</FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>The toolbars of pvlite contain icons for Opening, Saving and Printing and
a few specific filters. Plus there is a icon with which the user can switch to
and from paraview proper.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>All this can be achieved by modifying the class MainWindow as given in
ParaView-3.4.0\Applications\Client</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>An other way is using plugins aka the Autostart plugin. There is a trick
to get to the QMainWindow object. </FONT></P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>I think the use of plugins is preferred however due to the savestate in
MainWindow::~MainWindow() I do still require minor modifications to that
class.</FONT></P>

<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>I wonder if someone has achieved changing the look and feel of paraview
in a similar manner by purely using plugins. </FONT></P>
