If you develop a VTK filter for which you would like to make a Paraview plugin, it is nice to distribute it in a way that it can be used by users with only VTK as strictly a VTK filter, or by users with both VTK and Paraview as a VTK filter and a Paraview plugin. To do this, the directory structure should be as follows:
..../MyFilter/MyFilter.h
..../MyFilter/MyFilter.cxx
..../MyFilter/CMakeLists.txt
..../MyFilter/plugin/CMakeLists.txt
..../MyFilter/plugin/MyFilter.xml
The MyFilter/CMakeLists.txt should look like
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)
if(COMMAND cmake_policy)
cmake_policy(SET CMP0003 NEW)
endif(COMMAND cmake_policy)
PROJECT(vtkPointSetOutlierRemoval)
FIND_PACKAGE(VTK REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${VTK_USE_FILE})
SET(BUILD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN OFF CACHE BOOL "Build Paraview plugin?")
if(BUILD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN)
SUBDIRS(plugin)
endif(BUILD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN)
ADD_EXECUTABLE(vtkMyFilter Demo.cxx vtkMyFilter.cxx)
TARGET_LINK_LIBRARIES(vtkMyFilter vtkHybrid )
and the MyFilter/plugin/CMakeLists.txt should look like
FIND_PACKAGE(ParaView REQUIRED)
INCLUDE(${PARAVIEW_USE_FILE})
INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES(${INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES} ../)
ADD_PARAVIEW_PLUGIN(MyFilter "1.0"
SERVER_MANAGER_XML MyFilterxml
SERVER_MANAGER_SOURCES ../MyFilter.cxx
)
