Hello,

I’m looking for this version of the Paraview Guide but it seems to be no longer available:

> **[The ParaView Guide: A Parallel Visualization Application](https://www.amazon.com/ParaView-Guide-Parallel-Visualization-Application/dp/1930934149)**

I’m particularly interested in the PART 2 (Developer’s Guide), especially in chapters 18 to 22 (Anything related to XML plugins):

> **[(PDF) The Paraview Guide](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/51992227_The_Paraview_Guide)**
>
> PDF | On Jan 1, 2004, A Henderson and others published The Paraview Guide | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate

Unfortunately, this information is not available neither in the current on-line community version nor the printed version. Where can I get this information? (Any link to the on-line guide or purchasing sites is welcome).

Thanks in advance !

Miguel

The ParaView Guide has migrated online at [docs.paraview.org](http://docs.paraview.org).

Hello,

Thanks for your answer.

However, there is no information about the XML plugins in this link. Where can I get the PART 2: “Developer’s Guide” (chapters 18 to 22 )  
• Chapter 18: server manager  
• Chapter 19: plugins  
• Chapter 20: Python scripting  
• Chapter 21: Writing Paraview readers  
• Chapter 22: Widgets and properties

Thanks again

Miguel

I don’t know that the developer’s guide exists in that form anymore.

Documentation for plugin XML has moved here: [https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/cxx/PluginHowto.html](https://kitware.github.io/paraview-docs/latest/cxx/PluginHowto.html)

Python scripting examples are pervasive throughout the ParaView Guide. You may pay particular attention to [Chapter 4](https://docs.paraview.org/en/latest/ReferenceManual/pythonProgrammableFilter.html?highlight=Python%20algorithm#programmable-filter).

If you have specific questions on how to do things, please post them on this forum.

This is worth an anouncement imo.
