[ice-dev] Input on VisIt Plot type selection

[Taylor Patterson <pattersontc@xxxxxxxx>]

All,

I am working on adding support for more plot types in the VisIt tools. 
Right now, the plugin only renders pseudocolor plots. I'm trying to 
decide the best place to put the plot type selection. I was thinking 
about adding this to the dialog used to add plots to the VisIt Plot 
Viewer. The current dialog is a two-level tree that sorts plots based on 
variable type (Meshes, Scalars, Vectors, and Materials). I am 
considering adding a third layer to this tree for the plot types. For 
example, in the attached screenshot, the values under Scalars would be 
able to be expanded. Under each of the scalar values, the user could 
select Contour, Pseudocolor, or Volume. Does this seem like the 
appropriate place for this? Does anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks,
Taylor
