I haven’t yet tested it on Linux though. So yes, there might be some bugs there. I’m developing it on Windows using VS2019 community. I prefer this IDE for its simple and usable debugger.
I wish to develop this into a state explorer for VTK based apps. Essentially, traverse the vtk pipeline from renderer > actors > mappers > algorithms/sources > inputs.
I’d imagine ImGui tree widgets/tables that expand to show the properties available with vtkGet/vtkSet macros in real time and possibly small textures of the output before and after a filter is applied. For the renderer and all actors, I want to display and set the transform matrices, possibly with sliders. I hope this would improve my understanding of matrix transformations.
On windows, one could technically inject a line of code dearImGUIinjector->Inject(interactor) into paraview.exe process and use the interactor object of ParaView’s active RenderView, possibly a QVTKInteractor. Since ParaView is open source, it makes it a little bit easier to do dll injection.
I don’t know how long it’s gonna take, but I’d like to see this happen eventually.
