<div>I also added a bug to add a facet reader to ParaView. Per Robert's comments, it should be easy to add.</div>

You can use the python console instead of a plugin, if you want. Open the python console under the Tools menu and execute:<br>
<br>
filename = "foo.facet"<br>
<br>
import vtkIOPython<br>
r = vtkIOPython.vtkUGFacetReader()<br>
r.SetFileName(filename)<br>
r.Update()<br>
t = TrivialProducer()<br>
t.GetClientSideObject().SetOutput(r.GetOutput())<br>
t.UpdatePipeline()<br>
Show()<br>
<br>
<br>
Note, this works for paraview in the standard client only mode. This will not work when paraview is connected to a remote server.<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
Currently in ParaView you can't expose a new reader with a pure XML<br>
based plugin. I have added the feature to mantis so you can track the<br>
feature ( <a href="http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12657" target="_blank">http://paraview.org/Bug/view.php?id=12657</a>)<br>
<br>
In the meantime you will have build your own plugin which will require<br>
you too build your own version of ParaView or to use the developer<br>
release. I have included the necessary files to make the reader once<br>
you have the correct ParaView version.<br>
<br>
I would recommend reading the<br>
<a href="http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo" target="_blank">http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/ParaView/Plugin_HowTo</a> page to understand how<br>
to build your own plugin.<br>
