Plugins can bring new functionalities to ParaView, one of the best postprocessing tools for visualizing scientific results. However, building and using these plugins can be a bit tricky. In this video, we take a simple look at how you can compile and install a sample ParaView plugin. To do this, you should first compile ParaView from the source code, which we already did in the previous video (th-cam.com/video/3joVOlzCm_Y/w-d-xo.html).
The ParaView plugin that we used for demonstration in this video: github.com/UniStuttgart-VISUS/tpf
